Abstract:
    While the occurrence rate of wide giant planets appears to increase
    with stellar mass at least up through the A-type regime, B-type stars
    have so far not been systematically studied in large scale surveys. It
    therefore remains unclear up to what stellar mass this occurrence
    trend continues. The B-star Exoplanet Abundance Study (BEAST) is a
    direct imaging survey with the Extreme Adaptive Optics instrument
    SPHERE, targeting 85 B-type stars in the young Scorpius-Centaurus
    (Sco-Cen) region with the aim of detecting giant planets at wide
    separations and constraining their occurrence rate and physical
    properties. The statistical outcome of the survey will help
    determining if and where an upper stellar mass limit for planet
    formation occurs. Here, we describe the selection and characterization
    of the BEAST target sample.
Description:
    Sample properties for the target stars of the B-Star Exoplanet
    Abundance Study (BEAST).
