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).
