Abstract :
Space velocities (U,V,and W)for many stars in the halo of our galaxy were calculated by choosing A,G and K spectral type stars at a distance nearly 10 pc. It was found that some of these stars represent a Local Association group (kinematic stream), the stars of this group are sharing in similar 3-D kinematic motion in the galaxy, in the solar neighborhood. The results displayed that these velocities are in a good correlation with each other .
