Abstract

The possibility of the life origin in the stellar systems, located at a distance of ~ 200 pc from the solar system, was investigated. The stars, in the spectrums of which C (carbon), O (oxygen), N (nitrogen), and P (phosphorus) are found, are called DNA–stars. Based on stellar abundances a new method for searching for habitable exoplanets has been developed and a list of 48 DNA–stars in the solar neighborhood, on which life is possible, has been defined. The quota of DNA–stars is equal 1.3% of the total amount of Hypatia Stellar Catalog. Only three DNA–stars out of selected 48 stars belong to the spectral class as our Sun (G2V). The closest to the solar system is the DNA-star with the number HIP 15510, which belongs to the G8V class and is 6 pc away from the solar system. Nine DNA--stars, which have the highest chemical similarity with solar spectrum, were identified. It is identified that one of these nine stars, HIP 24681, has six planets.
