The REsearch Consortium On Nearby Stars (RECONS) is an international group of astronomers founded in 1994 to investigate the stars nearest to the Solar System - with a focus on those within 10 parsecs (32.6 light years), but as of 2012 the horizon was stretched to 25 parsecs.
In part the project hopes a more accurate survey of local star systems will give a better picture of the star systems in the Galaxy as a whole.
The Consortium claims authorship of the series The Solar Neighborhood in The Astronomical Journal, that began in 1994.
The following discoveries are from this series: RECONS is listed explicitly as an author on papers submitted to the Bulletin of the American Astronomical Society since 2004.
