The kinematics of main-sequence stars from Hipparcos data

We analyze a kinematically unbiased sample of 5610 stars around the south celestial pole that (i) have MK spectral types in the Michigan catalogues with luminosity class V and (ii) had photometric parallaxes that placed them within 80 pc of the Sun. We bin the stars by B - V and determine for each b...
