Presently, the list covers stars in the range of 4.39 to 81.5 light years from Earth, but is subject to review. UD = White Dwarf 559A = Alpha Centauri A EB = Eclipsing Binary 144 = Epsilon Eridani AB = Astrometric Binary 71 = Tau Ceti SB = Spectral Binary eye = Visible to the unaided eye under good conditions (apparent visual magnitude less than 6.0 - about 224 stars). See the text file STARLIST.LRG and its compressed version STARLIST.ZIP for the complete list of 800 stars.
