Although the quadrant star maps contain considerable data with regard to the 3500 stars that are
closest to Sol, they do not include all of the data for each star. However, if you desire to know
more about a star, then that data is available in the star tables of Appendix 2.
The first number in the numeric label next to each star is the table identity number (Table No.).
By knowing the table number, it is possible to look up the details of that particular star by turning
to the Star Tables in Appendix 2. The table numbers begin at 1 on each quadrant map and are
assigned sequentially in order of increasing distance from Sol. To find the detail information on
each star, merely note the Table No., and the Level and Quadrant Index number at the edge of each
map.
After turning to Appendix 2, match up the Level/Quadrant Index Number for the map with that of
one of the star tables, and then look up the star with the same Table No. See Figure 6.

Using the Star Tables and Maps in Science Fiction Writing
Appendix 2 provides detailed data on the 3500 stars closest to Sol in 120 pages of star tables.
Typically, a science fiction writer will be interested in stars around which he or she can place
habitable worlds for the purpose of writing a story. An example of how the star tables and maps
may be used to plot a piece of fiction follows:
If the writer is interested in finding a star around which there may be Earth-like planets, he or she
begins by looking at the column labeled “Spectral Type” in the Star Tables, or else looking at the
middle identifier on the Star Tables. The sun is a G2V spectral class star. This means that it is a
yellow-white (G) spectral type star that is classed as a dwarf (V). The 2 signifies that the sun’s
temperature places it in the upper end of the G-spectral class, which extends from G0 (6000C) to
G9 (5000C). Habitable worlds are most likely found around stars that are of similar spectral
classifications (F, G, or K). The brightest stars (O, B, and A) are too hot for life as we know it
(due to their ultraviolet output) and too short lived for evolution to have had a chance to work on
any planets that orbit them. The coolest stars (M, R, N, S) are mostly red giants and probably
destroyed any planets they might have had when the entered their current phase of stellar evolution.
After selecting a suitable spectral type, determine if the star is part of a multiple star system.
Whether life will develop in a multiple star system is questionable. Multiple star systems are noted
by having the same numerical Gliese IDs, with A, B, or C noted in the Components column. Two
stars with the same coordinates are part of a multiple star system. Having two large stars in the
sky will probably make conditions on planets too variable. However, if one star is large and the
other small, then the system conditions may not be dramatically different than here in the Solar
system. Procyon is an example of a potentially habitable multiple star system.
When you have chosen a suitable star, note the star map on which it is located and its X, Y, Z
coordinates. Use the X and Y coordinates to locate the star on the map and the Z coordinate to
visualize its position in 3-D space. If you have trouble visualizing, use a straw or other aid to
locating the point in space that represents the star’s position. Note: The Z-axis has the same units
as the X and Y axes, causing the seven star maps to form a perfect cube (like a 3-D chess board).
A listing of the codes used in the star tables, along with a list of the constellations, can be found
in the next sections.
