Machos in the Solar Neighbourhood
We rediscuss the question of what fraction of the population of MACHOs in the halo of the Milky Way might be in the form of halo dwarfs, because recent determinations indicate masses of the MACHOs, which are typical for such stars. For this purpose we have analyzed the Third Catalogue of Nearby Stars and identified the subdwarfs and a high velocity white dwarf in the solar neighbourhood. The lo...
متن کاملYoung stellar populations in the solar neighbourhood
Stellar X-ray surveys play an important role in understanding the star formation history in our Galaxy in the last billion years (the scale time of coronal activity evolution). In particular, the comparison of observed counts in a given sky direction with predictions by Galactic models can put constraints on the spatial distribution and stellar birthrate of stellar populations. We present the r...
متن کاملPhase Space Structure in the Solar Neighbourhood
Aims. To examine the idea that dynamical parameters can be estimated by identifying locations in the solar neighbourhood where velocity distributions recovered from test particle simulations, match the observed local distribution. Here, the dynamical influence of both the Galactic bar and the outer spiral pattern are taken
متن کاملHalo stars in the immediate solar neighbourhood
We have searched the Fourth Catalogue of Nearby Stars for halo stars and identified 15 subdwarfs and a high velocity white dwarf in the solar neighbourhood. This searchwasmotivated mainly by the recent determinations of MACHOmasses of about 0.5M , which are typical for halo dwarfs. The local mass density of these stars is 1.5·10−4M pc−3, which is only 3% of the current estimate of the local mas...
متن کاملClump Stars in the Solar Neighbourhood
Hipparcos data has allowed the identification of a large number of clump stars in the Solar Neighbourhood. We discuss our present knowledge about their distributions of masses, ages, colours, magnitudes, and metallicities. We point out that the age distribution of clump stars is “biased” towards intermediate-ages. Therefore, the metallicity information they contain is different from that provid...
