A Catalog of Moving Group Candidates in The Solar Neighborhood
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on kernel estimator and wavelet technique, we have identified 22 moving group candidates in the solar neighborhood from a sample which includes around 14000 dwarfs and 6000 giants. Six of them were previously known as the Hercules stream, the Sirus-UMa stream, the Hyades stream, the Caster group, the Pleiades stream and the IC 2391; five of them have also been reported by other authors. Eleven moving group candidates, not previously reported in the literature, show prominent structures in dwarf or giant samples. A catalog of moving group candidates in the solar neighborhood is presented in this work. Subject headings: (Galaxy:) solar neighborhood-stars: kinematics-stars: abundance

Nearby Stars from the Lspm-north Proper Motion Catalog. I. Main Sequence Dwarfs and Giants within 33 Parsecs of the Sun
A list of 4,131 dwarfs, subgiants, and giants located, or suspected to be located, within 33 parsecs of the Sun is presented. All the stars are drawn from the new LSPM-north catalog of 61,976 stars with annual proper motions larger than 0.15 yr−1. Trigonometric parallax measurements are found in the literature for 1,676 of the stars in the sample; photometric and spectroscopic distance moduli a...
متن کاملNearby Young Stars Selected by Proper Motion. I. Four New Members of the Β Pictoris Moving Group from the Tycho-2 Catalog.1,2
We describe a procedure to identify stars from nearby moving groups and associations out of catalogs of stars with large proper motions. We show that from the mean motion vector of a known or suspected moving group, one can identify additional members of the group based on proper motion data and photometry in the optical and infrared, with minimal contamination from background field stars. We d...

متن کاملThe Effect of Spiral Structure on the Stellar Velocity Distribution in the Solar Neighborhood
Clumps in the solar neighborhood’s stellar velocity distribution could be caused by spiral density waves. In the solar neighborhood, stellar velocities corresponding to orbits that are nearly closed in the frame rotating with a spiral pattern represent likely regions for stellar concentrations. Via particle integration, we show that orbits can intersect the solar neighborhood when they are exci...
متن کاملStellar activity as a tracer of moving groups
We present the results of a study of the stellar activity in the solar neighborhood using complete kinematics (galactocentric velocities U,V,W) and the chromospheric activity index log RHK. We analyzed the average activity level near the centers of known moving groups using a sample of 2529 stars and found that the stars near these associations tend to be more active than field stars. This supp...
