contents This paper provides a complete characterization of the Dirichlet boundary outputs that can be exactly tracked in the one-dimensional heat equation with Neumann boundary control. The problem consists in describing the set of boundary traces generated by square-integrable controls over a finite or infinite time horizon. We show that these outputs form a precise functional space related to Gevrey regularity of order 2. In the infinite-time case, the trackable outputs are precisely those functions whose successive derivatives satisfy a weighted summability condition, which corresponds to specific Gevrey classes. For finite-time horizons, an additional compatibility condition involving the reachable space of the system provides a full characterization. The analysis relies on Fourier-Laplace transform, properties of Hardy spaces, the flatness method, and a new Plancherel-type theorem for Hilbert spaces of Gevrey functions. Beyond control theory, our results yield an optimal solution to the classical interpolation problem in Gevrey-$2$ classes, which improves results of Mitjagin on the optimal loss factor. The techniques developed here also extend to variants of the heat system with different boundary conditions or observation points.
