Galactic heliocentric (XYZ) coordinates of 108 stars within the B subgroup of LCC (purple hexagons; Kerr et al. 2021), the A0 population of the Crux Moving Group (gray squares; Goldman et al. 2018), or stars identified using the FriendFinder algorithm restricted to ﹩{V}_{\tan ,\mathrm{off}}\lt 1﹩ km s−1 and within 10 pc of TOI 1227 (blue circles; Tofflemire et al. 2021). The planet host, TOI 1227, is marked with a red cross and is in all three lists. The significant overlap between these three selections reaffirms that these are all the same population, just selected using slightly different methods. For reference, we included a green circle that includes most of the known ϵ Cha members, highlighting that ϵ Cha is a separate and more compact population.
