Kinematics of Nearby Subdwarf Stars

چکیده
We present an analysis of the space motions of 742 subdwarf stars based on the sample of Carney et al.(1994). Hipparcos parallaxes, TYC2+HIP proper motions and Tycho2 proper motions were combined with radial velocities and metallicities from CLLA. The kinematical behavior is discussed in particular in relation to their metallicities. The majority of these sample stars have metal abundances of [Fe/H] > −1 and represent the thick disk population. The halo component, with [Fe/H] < −1.6, is characterized by a low mean rotation velocity and a radially elongated velocity ellipsoid. In the intermediate metallicity range (−1.6 ≤ [Fe/H] ≤ −1), we find a significant number of subdwarfs with disklike kinematics. We interpret this population of stars as a metal-weak thick disk (MWTD) population.

The nearest cool white dwarf (d ∼ 4 pc), the coolest M-type subdwarf (sdM9.5), and other high proper motion discoveries Abstract. We report the discovery of seven high proper motion stars with proper motions between about 0.7 and 2.2 arcsec/yr, all at relatively low Galactic latitudes (13 • < |b| < 35 •) and located in the southern sky. They were detected in a high proper motion search using mu...

We present spectral classification of 105 northern stars with proper motions larger than 0.5 yr, which were recently discovered by us in a survey of high proper motion stars at low galactic latitudes. The final tally is as follows: 54 M dwarfs, 25 sdK and sdM subdwarfs, 14 esdK and esdM extreme subdwarfs, and 12 DA and DC white dwarfs. Among the most interesting cases, we find one star to be th...

We present the discovery of the first L-type subdwarf, 2MASS J05325346+8246465. This object exhibits enhanced collision-induced H2 absorption, resulting in blue NIR colors (J −Ks = 0.26±0.16). In addition, strong hydride bands in the red optical and NIR, weak TiO absorption, and an optical/J-band spectral morphology similar to the L7 DENIS 0205−1159AB imply a cool, metal-deficient atmosphere. W...

Context. Realistic stellar models are essential to the forward modelling approach in asteroseismology. For practicality however, certain model assumptions are also required. For example, in the case of subdwarf B stars, one usually starts with zero-age horizontal branch structures without following the progenitor evolution. Aim s. We analyse the effects of common assumptions in subdwarf B model...
