Revised ages for stars in the solar neighbourhood ?
نویسنده
چکیده
New ages are computed for the stars from the Edvardsson et al. (1993) data set. The revised values are systematically larger toward older ages (t > 4 Gyr), while they are slightly lower for t<4 Gyr. A similar, but considerably smaller trend is present when the ages are computed with the distances based on Hipparcos parallaxes. The resulting age-metallicity relation has a small, but distinct slope of ∼ 0.07 dex/Gyr.

Kinematics and history of the solar neighbourhood revisited
We use proper motions and parallaxes from the new reduction of Hipparcos data and Geneva-Copenhagen radial velocities for a complete sample of ∼ 15 000 main-sequence and subgiant stars, and new Padova isochrones to constrain the kinematics and starformation history of the solar neighbourhood. We rederive the solar motion and the structure of the local velocity ellipsoids. When the principal vel...

We present and discuss new determinations of metallicity, rotation, age, kinematics, and Galactic orbits for a complete, magnitude-limited, and kinematically unbiased sample of 16,682 nearby F and G dwarf stars. Our ∼63,000 new, accurate radial-velocity observations for nearly 13,500 stars allow identification of most of the binary stars in the sample and, together with published uvbyβ photomet...
متن کاملA revision of the solar neighbourhood metallicity distribution
We present a revised metallicity distribution of dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. This distribution is centred on solar metallicity. We show that previous metallicity distributions, selected on the basis of spectral type, are biased against stars with solar metallicity or higher. A selection of G-dwarf stars is inherently biased against metal rich stars and is not representative of the solar ...
متن کاملThe Geneva - Copenhagen Survey of the Solar neighbourhood III ⋆ Improved distances , ages , and kinematics
Context. Ages, chemical compositions, velocity vectors, and Galactic orbits for stars in the solar neighbourhood are fundamental test data for models of Galactic evolution. The Geneva-Copenhagen Survey of the Solar neighbourhood (Nordström et al. 2004; GCS), a magnitude-complete, kinematically unbiased sample of 16,682 nearby F and G dwarfs, is the largest available sample with complete data fo...
متن کاملSemi-Regular Variables in the Solar Neighbourhood
Period-luminosity sequences have been shown to exist among the Semi-Regular Variables (SRVs) in the Magellanic Clouds (Wood et al, 1999), the Bulge of the Milky Way galaxy (Glass & Schultheis, 2003) and elsewhere. Using modern period and revised Hipparcos parallax data, this paper demonstrates that they also appear among the M-giant SRVs of the Solar Neighbourhood. Their distribution in the K, ...
