Nearby solar-type stars as candidates for interstellar robotic missions.
Abstract
Approximately 45 single solar-like stars within a radius of 12.5 pc were identified as potential candidates for future missions. Within the same radius, approximately 25 binary systems with one or more solar-like components were identified as potential mission destinations. The best candidate stars are those for which searches for accompanying planets should be concentrated.
