Starting with the work of Huang (1959, 1960) and continuing with Dole’s “Habitable Planets for Man” (1964), stars whose masses greatly exceed or fall below the mass of the Sun were considered inhospitable to biology, particularly the complex, intelligent variety.

Corvus (constellation)
Corvus is a small constellation in the Southern Celestial Hemisphere. Its name comes from the Latin word ""raven"" or ""crow"". It includes only 11 stars with brighter than 4.02 magnitudes. One of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. The four brightest stars, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Beta Corvi from a distinctive quadrilateral in the night sky. The young star Eta Corvi has been found to have two debris disks.
