The metallicity distribution of G dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood
The metallicity distribution of G dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood
We derive a new metallicity distribution of G dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood, using uvby photometry and up-to-date parallaxes. Our distribution comprises 287 G dwarfs within 25 pc from the Sun, and differs considerably from the classic solar neighbourhood distribution of pagel & patchett and pagel by having a prominent …
