The Fifth Catalogue of Nearby Stars (CNS5) aims to provide the most
volume-complete sample of stars in the solar neighbourhood. The CNS5
is compiled based on trigonometric parallaxes from Gaia EDR3 and
Hipparcos, and supplemented with astrometric data from Spitzer and
ground-based surveys carried out in the infrared. The CNS5 catalogue
is statistically complete down to 19.7 mag in G-band and 11.8 mag in
W1-band absolute magnitudes, corresponding to a spectral type of L8.
Continuous updates of observational data for nearby stars from all
sources were collected and evaluated. For all known stars in the 25 pc
sphere around the Sun, the best values of positions in space,
velocities, and magnitudes in different filters are presented.
