Trumpeting M dwarfs with CONCH-SHELL: A catalogue of nearby cool host-stars for habitable exoplanets and life
We present an all-sky catalogue of 2970 nearby (d ≲ 50 pc), bright (J < 9) M- or late Ktype dwarf stars, 86 per cent of which have been confirmed by spectroscopy. This catalogue will be useful for searches for Earth-size and possibly Earth-like planets by future space-based transit missions and g...
