Abstract
A new metallicity distribution and an age-metallicity relation are presented for 437 nearby F and G turn-off and sub-giant stars selected from radial velocity data of Nidever et al. Photometric metallicities are derived from uvby- H beta photometry, and the stellar ages from the isochrones of Bergbusch & VandenBerg as transformed to uvby photometry using the methods of Clem et al.
