From UBVRI photometry and space motion data of 232 late type dwarf stars, it is found that for the stars of (R-I)<0.5, Δ (U-B) and Δ (B-V) color excesses are correlated with their orbital eccentricities. Therefore, Δ (U-B) and Δ (B-V) color excesses can be used as possible photometric abundance indicators for the stars of (R-I)<0.5. For the stars of (R-I) ≥ 0.5, the correlation between color excess and orbital eccentricity is not clear. However, it is interesting to note that the high orbital eccentricity stars show some blue deficiencies and these blue deficiencies seem to be correlated with orbital eccentricity.

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 ≈ 0.35 and M v ≈ 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 ± 0 m .30 in the region with B-V < 1.40 on the average.

The UBVRIHKL magnitudes on Johnson system and space motions of M dwarf stars have been collected. This sample of M stars have been distinguished on a purely kinematical basis; the one with e<0.15, young disk population, with 0.150.3 halo population. On the color-color diagrams and the color excess-orbital eccentricity diagrams, there is no distinction between the old disk stars and the young disk stars. However (I-H) color could be used to distinguish halo stars from young and old disk stars and the color excesses, Δ ( U − B ) , Δ ( B − V ) , Δ ( V − R ) , Δ ( H − K ) , Δ ( K − L ) , a n d Δ ( B − R ) can be used as abundance indicators only for the halo stars. But these color excesses which are measures of blue excesses, are positive for the halo stars with smaller eccentricities and become negative for those with larger eccentricities.
