Abstract:
Nearly 400 Tycho-2 (Cat. I/259) stars have been observed in a 720
square degree field in the direction of the North Galactic Pole with
the high resolution echelle spectrograph ELODIE. Absolute magnitudes,
effective temperatures, gravities and metallicities have been
estimated, as well as distances and 3D velocities. Most of these stars
are clump giants and span typical distances from 200pc to 800pc to the
galactic mid-plane. This new sample, free of any kinematical and
metallicity bias, is used to investigate the vertical distribution of
disk stars.
Description:
Basic data and atmospheric parameters are given for the 387 stars of
the NGP sample.

Note (1): Individual errors can be retrieved from the Tycho-2 catalog
Note (2): Mean error bars are discussed in the paper
Note (3): TGMET is an automated method of parametrisation, based on a
criterion of minimum distance to an empirical library of reference
spectra (Katz et al., 1998A&A...338..151K 1998A&A...338..151K; Soubiran et al., 1998, Cat.
J/A+AS/133/221).
Note (4): Uvel is positive towards the Galactic Center
Note (5): Notes:
SB2 indicates a double lined spectrum,
EP indicates an enlarged profile (FWHM>14km/s)
