Description:
    Absolute magnitudes, metallicities, effective temperatures, surface
    gravities, distances, and tangential velocities are calculated for
    5498 F stars with homogeneous data on uvby photometry and proper
    motion, and placed within 80 pc from the Sun. Components of space
    velocities, eccentricities of galactic orbits, perigalactic and
    apogalactic distances, and maximal remotness from galactic plane are
    presented for 1787 stars. Isochrone ages are determined for 3405
    slightly evolved stars proceeding from Revised Yale isochrones.
