Notes. The list of the 18 ELT candidates with spectral type, apparent K magnitude, and calculated magnitudes. L, M, and N2 magnitudes are calculated from the given K magnitude and spectral type following the work of Pecaut & Mamajek (2013). The top four new candidates for a theoretical northern hemisphere survey at a Hawaii or La Palma site are also given (see Sect. 2.3 for details) following the dividing line. σ Draconis is only visible from La Palma site. Both northern sites can also see Procyon and Altair but only the Hawaii site can see Sirius. ^( * )Converted from a V band magnitude from the given source.
