ABSTRACT

The adoption of a parametric model for the spatial distribution of Gould Belt and Galactic Disk stars allows the classification by their membership probabilities of stars from the Hipparcos catalogue in the Solar vicinity and the estimation of structural parameters for both stellar systems for several age groups. The observed kinematics of Gould Belt and Disk stars are shown to be different.
