Abstract:
    We present the results of high-resolution spectroscopic and
    high-precision photometric observations on a sample of 129 late-F and
    G-type nearby stars selected on the basis of their large rotational
    velocity. Using also data from the Hipparcos satellite, CORAVEL and
    from the ROSAT satellite database, we infer spectral types, compute
    radial velocities, vsini, Li abundances and X-ray luminosities and
    investigate the single or binary nature of the sample stars. Such a
    careful analysis of our sample shows a large fraction of binaries
    (~62%) and of young single disk stars. In particular, at least 9 stars
    can be considered bona-fide PMS or ZAMS objects, and 30 stars are
    identified as SBs for the first time. Information on the presence of
    Ca II K emission and on optical variability is given for some of the
    stars of the sample.
    The photometry has been obtained at the European Southern Observatory
    (ESO-La silla, Chile) during several observing runs (19/11-03/12 1993,
    24/11-04/12 1994, 15-28/01/1995 and 1-12/10/1995), by using the 50cm
    ESO telescope.
