Abstract:
    We have reconstructed the galactic orbits of the parent stars of
    exoplanets. For comparison, we have recalculated the galactic orbits
    of stars from the Edvardsson et al. (1993, Cat. <J/A+A/275/101>)
    catalog. A comparison between the two samples indicates that stars
    with planets are not kinematically peculiar. At each perigalactic
    distance stars with planets have a metallicity systematically larger
    than the average for the comparison sample. We argue that this result
    favors scenarios where the presence of planets is the cause of the
    higher metallicity of stars with planets.

Description:
    File table1.dat contains the coordinates, radial velocity and proper
    motion of stars with planets. File table2.dat contains physical
    characteristic of stars with planets. File table4.dat contains data
    about galactic orbits of stars with planets.
