This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This program will focus on discovering and characterizing the fainter members of the solar neighborhood: red dwarfs, white dwarfs, brown dwarfs, and extrasolar planets. The core science goals of the RECONS (Research Consortium on Nearby Stars) effort at Georgia State University (GSU) are to (1) reveal new nearby and young stars with proper motions of 3 arcseconds/year down to undetectable levels, (2) move toward the completion of the census of all stars within 10 pc, (3) substantially increase the samples of red and white dwarfs within 25 pc, and (4) search astrometrically the nearest red and white dwarfs for brown dwarf and massive planetary companions with orbital periods up to a decade.The Broader Impacts of this program include resources for professional and amateur astronomers consisting of the Census of Objects Nearer than 10 Parsecs and List of the Nearest 100 Stellar Systems, generating more than 13000 server requests to the RECONS website in the first nine months of 2008. A parallax database has recently been added. The program will support 1 postdoctoral researcher, 2 graduate students, and 1 undergraduate student.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。该计划将着重于发现和表征太阳能社区的愚蠢成员：红色矮人，白矮人，棕色矮人和外星行星。佐治亚州立大学（GSU）重新组件的核心科学目标（GSU）的努力是（1）揭示附近的新和年轻的恒星，其适当的动作为3个弧度/年下降到不可检测的水平，（2）朝着10 pc的所有星人的人口普查完成，（3）实质性的搜索，（3）实质性地增加了（3）型号，（3），（3）大量的pcathers and Pcally of White Placeply and White Plact and Basty and Pacorty and Pcally（3），（3）是Reds and Pacorty（3），（3）是Reds and Pacort and（3）。红色和白色矮人的棕色矮人和大量的行星伴侣，具有长达十年的轨道时期。该计划的更广泛的影响包括用于专业和业余天文学家的资源，这些天文学家与10个parsec的物体的人口普查相比，该物体的普查与最近的100个恒星系统的列表相比，最近又有13000个服务器的列表，该网站是第一个零售商的范围，该网站是第一个par的范围。 该计划将支持1名博士后研究人员，2名研究生和1名本科生。
