Pub. Astron. Soc. Pacific, Volume 83, June 1971 the ARCTURUS GROUP O. J. EGGEN Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories, Re Pub. Astron. Soc. Pacific, Volume 83, June 1971 THE ARCTURUS GROUP O. J. EGGEN Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories, Research School of Physical Sciences, The Australian National University Received 15 March 1971 Fifty-three probable members of a group of old disk population stars, moving with Arcturus, are discussed. The group includes the long period (250e1) variable RT Hydrae. The {My, B—V) and (Mboi, fí—/) diagrams of the group stars show the members to be among the oldest of the old disk population, similar in age, but not in chemical composition, to members of the old cluster NGC 188. Apogalactium for the group members is near the sun and there is some evidence for a nonrandom distribution of the U vectors of the space motions. The ultraviolet excess, 8(C/—ß)o.6' of the main-sequence members is +0Φ11 and spectroscopic analyses of three giant members give [Fe/H] near —0.5. The values of S{U— B)q q for seven groups of old disk population stars range from + 0Φ17 (σ Puppis group) to + 0^03 ( ε Indi group) with the old disk cluster M67 being similar to the latter. The value of E{B—V) = +0^06 for M67 is confirmed by early-type field stars in the vicinity of the cluster. The members of some of the old disk population groups that populate the (Μ^,Κ — Ι) plane near the clump of red giants (M^ol == 0m to + lm) are tabulated and discussed in connection with the suggested "supermetallicity" of some of these stars. It is concluded that the old disk popula- tion clusters and groups contain stars with values of [Fe/H] ranging from that of the Hyades to about 20 percent that of the sun. Available narrow-band photometric indices of early K-type giants are not directly useful for determining [Fe/H]. Key words: old disk stars — elemental abundances — photometry I. Introduction The (UBV) observations have been made in The large and well-determined parallax, several programs over many years. The (RI) σ/091 (weight 50), of Arcturus (HR 5340 = a results were mainly determined with the 40-inch Bootis) leads to space motion vectors of ((7, V, W) reflector at Siding Spring or with the Mount = ( — 25, —116, —3) km/sec.

He was one of the greatest Dutch astronomers of the past 150 years. In 1944 he had predicted that the amount of neutral atomic hydrogen in interstellar space would be so great as to produce a measurable signal at the radio wavelength of 21 centimeters. This prediction led to a breakthrough in astronomical research. It was a strikingly origi- nal contribution to the spectacular blossoming of astronomy which began after the second world war and which continues unabated. Henk van de Hulst was born in Utrecht, The Netherlands, on November 19, 1918. He was one of the six children born to W.G. van de Hulst, a well-known writer of children's books in Calvinist religious settings. Henk was not the only one of the children to be highly gifted; one of his brothers became a respected painter. Henk remembered growing up in a happy family atmosphere. The belief in the teachings of the Dutch Reformed Church were followed seriously at home and ev- idently the younger Henk adhered to them too: in his Ph.D. thesis one finds the pious dedication “. to Him who steers everything”. Later in his life his religious beliefs loosened, although his knowledge of the Bible became a familiar signature in his discussions.
