CALCULATING SPACE VELOCITIES (U,V,AND W) FOR STARS INTHE HALO OF OUR GALAXY

Abstract

Space velocities (U,V,and W)for many stars in the halo of our galaxy were
calculated by choosing A,G and K spectral type stars at a distance nearly 10 pc. It
was found that some of these stars represent a Local Association group (kinematic
stream), the stars of this group are sharing in similar 3-D kinematic motion in the
galaxy, in the solar neighborhood. The results displayed that these velocities are in a
good correlation with each other .
