A new moving group in the Local Arm

Abstract

We present a new moving group clustered in kinematics, spatial position and elemental abundances. Its spatial position is around the center of the Local Arm of the Milky Way. A convergent point method was taken to select candidate member stars. Among 206 candidate member stars, 74 are pre-main-sequence stars and some of them have stellar disks. We presume those pre-main sequence stars belong to Orion nebula. We suggest this moving group is caused by density wave of the Local Arm passing by.
