Positions in celestial coordinates of the 5600 targets in this search for laser emission lines. The targets consist mostly of nearby (within 100 pc) FGKM-type stars distributed roughly uniformly over the sky accessible to the Keck Observatory. Also prominent are the stellar targets at distances of 100–1000 pc observed within the field of view of the NASA-Kepler telescope at R.A. = 19–20 hr and decl. = +40–50, and its faint footprints of fields of view of the NASA K2 mission along the ecliptic. This search for laser lines constitutes a broad selection of nearby stars and transiting planets.
