The time-dependence of the local stellar velocity distribution

It is a well-known observational fact that the velocity distribution of a group of stars is related to the spectral classes of the stars. In particular, a large vertex deviation exists for stars of early spectral types, which disappears for stars of later spectral types. Also, the velocity dispersio...
