Abstract
Spectroscopic observations were carried out of potential nearby high proper motion stars taken from Luyten's LHS and NLTT catalogues. The purpose was to obtain a first distance estimate for hitherto neglected nearby candidates. The resulting spectra for fourteen stars are presented and discussed. The sample comprises eleven M dwarfs and three M subdwarfs having spectroscopic distances from 17 pc to 160 pc.


Key words: stars: distances -- stars: late type -- galaxy: solar neighbourhood

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
