Velocities of Galactic disk late-type stars

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

In this paper, we investigate some chemokinematical properties of the Milky Way disk, by using a sample composed by 424 late-type dwarfs.

Description

We show that the velocity dispersion of a stellar group increases steadily the age of the stellar group, according to a disk heating law proportional to t^0.26^, where t is the age of the stellar group. The temporal evolution of the vertex deviation is considered in detail.

It is shown that the vertex deviation does not follow a smooth variation with time. Previous studies in the literature seem to not have found it due to the use of statistical ages for stellar groups, rather than individual ages. The possibility to use the orbital parameters of a star to derive information about its birthplace is investigated, and we show that the mean galactocentric radius is likely to be the most reliable stellar birthplace indicator.

However, this information cannot be used presently to derive radial evolutionary constraints, due to an intrinsic bias present in all samples constructed from nearby stars.
