H-R DIAGRAM FOR NEARBY HIGH-VELOCITY STARS

About two hundred stars within 50 pc from the sun, whose tangential velocity larger than 100 km/sec, have been selected on the basis of their proper motions and trigonometric parallaxes. A list of them along with their photoelectric UBV data and spectral types is given. The criterion on the tangential velocity, $v_t$ > 132 km/sec, was adopted for selection of high-velocity stars. The H-R diagram of these nearby high-velocity stars resembles that of a globular cluster, with the turnoff around $B-V{\approx}0.35$ and $M_v{\approx}4.0$, and the subdwarfs among these high-velocity stars are fainter than the main-sequence stars of Hyades by the amount of $1^m.25{\pm}0^m.30$ in the region with B-V < 1.40 on the average.
