The membership of stars of solar neighbourhood in moving clusters.
Abstract
A sample of 1132 single and multiple stars of the solar neighbourhood with secure U, V, W velocities from the {Catalogue of nearby stars} by Gliese is considered. An algorithm of search for moving clusters in the velocity space is developed and applied to the present sample. Nine possible moving clusters which contain ≡13% of the stars considered are found.
