Peculiarities of spectral type distribution for stars in the solar neighborhood.
Abstract
We discuss the distribution of stars by MK spectral types and B-V color indices based on published catalog data. It is shown that the distribution of field B stars is nonmonotonic because of contamination by stars of OB associations and Gould's belt. Statistical analysis of stars in photometric catalogs confirms the deficit of A5-F5 dwarfs.
