Description:
   In this catalog, metallicities, distances, components of space velocities 
   and parameters of osculating orbits are calculated for 1065 F2-K5 dwarfs 
   with UBV photometric data, proper motions and radial velocities.
                                     
   The present sample is composed on the base of the Ochsenbein (1980) 
   catalogue and contains the stars of the V (IV-V) luminosity class, within 
   the colour range 0.35<B-V<1.10 (which corresponds to the spectral class 
   range F2-K5). 

   Sandage's (1969) Hyades sequence was used to determine the value   
   delta (U-B) for each star. The authors calibrated the ultraviolet excess 
   in terms of FE/H! separately for the four of the temperature index (B-V) 
   where delta(U-B) practically does not depend on the effective temperature. 
   Intervals in (B-V) correspond to the following division on spectral 
   class intervals: F2-F9, G0-G4, and G5-G9, K0-K5. Metallicity is calculated 
   from the formulae:                      
                FE/H!=-5.3*delta(U-B)+0.02     for stars F2-F9                  
                FE/H!=-5.1*delta(U-B)+0.13     for stars G0-G4                  
                FE/H!=-5.4*delta(U-B)+0.02     for stars G5-G9                  
                FE/H!=-4.7*delta(U-B)-0.04     for stars K0-K5                  
   These relations follow from the assumption that mean metallicity and 
   metallicity dispersion for stars of all spectral classes are the same.     

   Distances to the stars were calculated from spectral parallaxes. Absolute 
   magnitudes (M(V)) were obtained from the Sp,M(V)-relation for dwarfs 
   (Straizys, 1982). The sample includes only stars nearer than 80 pc because  
   reddening is negligible for them. the obtained distances together with 
   radial velocities and proper motions are used to calculate the components 
   of space velocities. The eccentricities, apogalactic and perigalactic 
   distances of the stars were calculated from the osculating orbit 
   approximation according to the galaxy model from the paper by 
   Eggen et al. (1962).
