Population studies. III - Further comparison of spectroscopically and kinematically selected halo samples
A comparison is made between the kinematically selected sample of halostars of Eggen, Lynden-Bell, and Sandage (1962, ELS) and the more recentspectroscopically selected sample of such objects obtained by Eggen(1984) from the Michigan Spectral Types Catalogs. Data are presented onthe abundances, absolute magnitudes, and kinematics of 29 halo stars,and the eccentricity distributions in the samples of ELS and Eggen arecompared. The results are found to be consistent with the view that thekinematically selected sample analyzed by ELS is biased againstlow-abundance, low-eccentricity stars.
| Weak-lined stars in the Michigan spectral survey. I - A-, F-, and G-type stars
Data from intermediate-band and H-beta photometric observations of 89early-type stars classified as weak-lined by Bidelman and MacConnell(1973), Houk and Cowley (1975), or Houk (1978 and 1982) are presented intables and graphs and analyzed. The group is found to comprise 55 diskstars and 34 halo stars (Fe/H less than -0.65), including 21 near themain-sequence turnoff, seven red horizontal-branch stars, one bluehorizontal-branch star, one suprahorizontal-branch object, and four bluestragglers; five of the newly identified halo stars are shown to haveradial velocities in excess of 100 km/s. Special consideration is givento the 17 early-type members of Kapetyn's star group (Eggen, 1977), andthe mean luminosity and Fe/H ratio of the four very-short-periodCepheids of this group are determined as 0.75 mag and -1.7.
