Tucana-Horologium association

[3] The members of this young group are potential targets for directly imaged circumstellar disks and exoplanets.

[2] The stars are located close to Earth and the planets are young, so they give off more infrared light, which is suited for directly imaging techniques.

[4] The brightest-identified member of the association is the massive star Alpha Pavonis, which is leaving the main sequence.

[6] The brown dwarf 2MASS J02265658-5327032 is likely a member of the Tuc-Hor association and has a circumstellar disk, which is unusual for its age.

The list is focused on B-type, A-type and F-type stars and other stars/brown dwarfs are included if they are notable.
