Abstract:
    This is the first paper of a series aimed at studying the properties
    of late-type members of young stellar kinematic groups. We concentrate
    our study on classical young moving groups such as the Local
    Association (Pleiades moving group, 2-150Myr), IC 2391 supercluster
    (35Myr), Ursa Major group (Sirius supercluster, 300Myr), and Hyades
    supercluster (600Myr), as well as on recently identified groups such
    as the Castor moving group (200Myr). In this paper we compile a
    preliminary list of single late-type possible members of some of these
    young stellar kinematic groups. Stars are selected from previously
    established members of stellar kinematic groups based on photometric
    and kinematic properties as well as from candidates based on other
    criteria such as their level of chromospheric activity, rotation rate
    and lithium abundance. Precise measurements of proper motions and
    parallaxes taken from the Hipparcos Catalogue, as well as from the
    Tycho-2 Catalogue, and published radial velocity measurements are used
    to calculate the Galactic space motions (U, V, W) and to apply Eggen's
    kinematic criteria in order to determine the membership of the
    selected stars to the different groups.

Note (G2): Predicted velocities:
   VT = 4.74*{mu}/({pi}*sin{lambda})     rhoc = VT*cos{lambda},
   where {mu} is the component of the absolute proper motion in the
   direction of the convergent point and perpendicular to it, {pi} is
   the trigonometric parallax and {lambda} the angular distance between
   the star and the convergent point.
