Stellar Kinematics in the Galactic North Pole Region on the Basis of Tautenburg Schmidt Telescope Plates

The spatial velocity components and their dispersions in the Galactocentric and rotation directions, eccentricities of Galactic orbits, parameters of spatial distribution and the change of all these characteristics with distance from the Galactic plane are detennined. These data have been obtained o...

Description
Summary:The spatial velocity components and their dispersions in the Galactocentric and rotation directions, eccentricities of Galactic orbits, parameters of spatial distribution and the change of all these characteristics with distance from the Galactic plane are detennined. These data have been obtained on the basis of absolute proper motions and stellar B, V magnitudes in two sky regions near the North Galactic Pole (NGP) by means of a plate set of the Tautenburg Schmidt telescope.
