We have constructed a catalog containing best available astrometric, photometric, radial velocity and astrophysical data for mainly F-type and G-type stars (called the Astrometric catalog associated with Astrophysical Data, ACAD), which contains 27,553 records, and is used for the purpose of analyzing the stellar kinematics in the Solar neighborhood. Using the Lindblad-Oort Model and compiled ACAD, we calculated the Solar motion and Oort constants in different age/metallicity bins. The evolution of kinematical parameters with stellar age and metallicity were investigated directly. The results show that the component of the Solar motion in the direction of Galactic rotation (denoted $S_2$) has a linear increase with respect to age, which may be a consequence of the scattering processes, and its value for a dynamical cold disk was found to be $8.0pm1.2~mathrm{km~s^{-1}}$. $S_2$ also increases linearly with respect to metallicity, which indicates that radial migration is correlated to the metallicity gradient. On the other hand, the rotational velocity of the Sun around the Galactic center has no clear correlation with ages or metallicities of stars used in the estimation.

The age-metallicity relation for F and G dwarf stars in the solar neighborhood, based on the stellar metallicity data of Edvardsson et al. (1993), shows an apparent scatter that is larger than expected considering the uncertainties in metallicities a nd ages. A number of theoretical models have been put forward to explain the large scatter. However, we present evidence, based on Edvardsson et al. (1993) data, along with Hipparcos parallaxes and new age estimates, that the scatter in the age-metallicity relation depends on the distance to the stars in the sample, such that stars within 30 pc of the Sun show significantly less scatter in [Fe/H]. Stars of intermediate age from the Edvardsson et al. sample at distances 30-80 pc from the Sun are systematically more metal-poor than those more nearby. We also find that the slope of the apparent age-metallicity relation is different for stars within 30 pc than for those stars more distant. These results are most likely an artifact of selection biases in the Edvardsson et al. star sample. We conclude that the intrinsic dispersion in metallicity at fixed age is < 0.15 dex, consistent with the < 0.1 dex scatter for Galactic open star clusters and the interstellar medium.

Several recent studies of Solar twins in the Solar neighbourhood have shown a tight correlation between various elemental abundances and age, in particular [Y/Mg]. If this relation is real and valid for other types of stars as well as elsewhere in th e Galaxy it would provide a very powerful tool to derive ages of stars without the need to resort to determining their masses (evolutionary stage) very precisely. The method would also likely work if the stellar parameters have relatively large errors. The studies presented in the recent literature span a narrow range of [Fe/H]. By studying a larger sample of Solar neighbourhood dwarfs with a much larger range in [Fe/H], we find that the relation between [Y/Mg] and age depends on the [Fe/H] of the stars. Hence, it appears that the [Y/Mg] - age relation is unique to Solar analogues.
The surface density and vertical distribution of stars, stellar remnants, and gas in the solar vicinity form important ingredients for understanding the star formation history of the Galaxy as well as for inferring the local density of dark matter by using stellar kinematics to probe the gravitational potential. In this paper we review the literature for these baryonic components, reanalyze data, and provide tables of the surface densities and exponential scale heights of main sequence stars, giants, brown dwarfs, and stellar remnants. We also review three components of gas (H2, HI, and HII), give their surface densities at the solar circle, and discuss their vertical distribution. We find a local total surface density of M dwarfs of 17.3 pm 2.3 Mo/pc^2. Our result for the total local surface density of visible stars, 27.0 pm 2.7 Mo/pc^2, is close to previous estimates due to a cancellation of opposing effects: more mass in M dwarfs, less mass in the others. The total local surface density in white dwarfs is 4.9 pm 0.6 Mo/pc^2; in brown dwarfs, it is ~1.2 Mo/pc^2. We find that the total local surface density of stars and stellar remnants is 33.4 pm 3 Mo/pc^2, somewhat less than previous estimates. We analyze data on 21 cm emission and absorption and obtain good agreement with recent results on the local amount of neutral atomic hydrogen obtained with the Planck satellite. The local surface density of gas is 13.7 pm 1.6 Mo/pc^2. The total baryonic mass surface density that we derive for the solar neighborhood is 47.1 pm 3.4 Mo/pc^2. Combining these results with others measurements of the total surface density of matter within 1-1.1 kpc of the plane, we find that the local density of dark matter is 0.013 pm 0.003Mo/pc^3.The local density of all matter is 0.097 pm 0.013 Mo/pc^3. We discuss limitations on the properties of a possible thin disk of dark matter.
To determine the velocity ellipsoid of the solar neighborhood white dwarfs, we use the space velocity components of stars. Two samples of white dwarfs are used, 20 pc and 25 pc samples. Beside the two main samples, the solar velocity and velocity dis persions are calculated for the four subsamples, namely DA, non - DA, hot and cool white dwarfs. Comparison between the results of 20 pc sample and those of 25 pc sample gives good agreement, while the comparison between the other subsamples gives bad agreement. Dependence of the velocity dispersions and solar velocity on the chemical composition and effective temperatures are discussed.
We investigate the stellar kinematics of the Galactic disc in 7 $<$ $R$ $<$ 13,kpc using a sample of 118,945 red giant branch (RGB) stars from LAMOST and Gaia. We characterize the median, dispersion and skewness of the distributions of the 3D stellar velocities, actions and orbital parameters across the age-metallicity and the disc $R$ -- $Z$ plane. Our results reveal abundant but clear stellar kinematic patterns and structures in the age -- metallicity and the disc $R$ -- $Z$ plane. The most prominent feature is the strong variations of the velocity, action, and orbital parameter distributions from the young, metal-rich thin disc to the old, metal-poor thick disc, a number of smaller-scale structures -- such as velocity streams, north-south asymmetries, and kinematic features of spiral arms -- are clearly revealed. Particularly, the skewness of $V_{phi}$ and $J_{phi}$ reveals a new substructure at $Rsimeq12$,kpc and $Zsimeq0$,kpc, possibly related to dynamical effects of spiral arms in the outer disc. We further study the stellar migration through analysing the stellar orbital parameters and stellar birth radii. The results suggest that the thick disc stars near the solar radii and beyond are mostly migrated from the inner disc of $Rsim4 - 6$,kpc due to their highly eccentrical orbits. Stellar migration due to dynamical processes with angular momentum transfer (churning) are prominent for both the old, metal-rich stars (outward migrators) and the young metal-poor stars (inward migrators). The spatial distribution in the $R$ -- $Z$ plane for the inward migrators born at a Galactocentric radius of $>$12,kpc show clear age stratifications, possibly an evidence that these inward migrators are consequences of splashes triggered by merger events of satellite galaxies that have been lasted in the past few giga years.
