Habitable Worlds Observatory Preliminary Input Catalog

This is a list of ∼13,000 bright, nearby objects from TESS and Gaia DR3 that are potential targets for space-based direct imaging with the Habitable Worlds Observatory. This dataset or service is made available by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

本数据集包含来自凌日系外行星巡天卫星（Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, TESS）与盖亚第三版星表（Gaia Data Release 3, Gaia DR3）的约13000颗明亮邻近天体，均为可居住世界天文台（Habitable Worlds Observatory）开展天基直接成像任务的潜在观测目标。本数据集及相关服务由设于红外处理与分析中心（Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, IPAC）的NASA系外行星科学研究所对外发布，该机构由加州理工学院（California Institute of Technology）依据与美国国家航空航天局（National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA）签署的合同负责运营。
