VizieR Online Data Catalog: Stars that can see Earth transit (Kaltenegger+, 2021)
Abstract
We identify 2034 stars (https://github.com/jfaherty17/ETZ) in the Gaia Catalog of Nearby Stars (GCNS) that are in the Earth transit zone (ETZ)3 over +/-5000 years: 313 objects were in the ETZ in the past, 319 will enter the ETZ in the future, and 1402 have been in the ETZ for some time. Given that Earth began transmitting radio waves into the solar neighbourhood about 100 years ago, we also identify a sub-sample of 75 stars located in a 30-pc sphere, which Earth's radio signals have already washed over.
