Metallicity in the solar neighborhood out to 60 pc
We present an overview and early results on a continuing large-scaleproject to analyze spectra of solar-types stars in the solarneighborhood out to 60 pc. Physical parameters and initial metallicityestimates for 4043 stars have been derived. We have developed computerprograms to help automate the process from synthetic spectrum generationto metallicity determination. Initial metallicity estimates for 3613stars have been calculated based on low resolution spectra. Results fromthis project will be useful in answering questions about chemicalhomogeneity in the solar neighborhood, developing age–metallicityrelationships, and in identifying candidate stars for futureplanet-hunting projects.

The colours of the Sun
We compile a sample of Sun-like stars with accurate effectivetemperatures, metallicities and colours (from the ultraviolet to thenear-infrared). A crucial improvement is that the effective temperaturescale of the stars has recently been established as both accurate andprecise through direct measurement of angular diameters obtained withstellar interferometers. We fit the colours as a function of effectivetemperature and metallicity, and derive colour estimates for the Sun inthe Johnson-Cousins, Tycho, Strömgren, 2MASS and SDSS photometricsystems. For (B-V)solar, we favour the `red' colour 0.64versus the `blue' colour 0.62 of other recent papers, but both valuesare consistent within the errors; we ascribe the difference to theselection of Sun-like stars versus interpolation of widercolour-Teff-metallicity relations.

HD 98618: A Star Closely Resembling Our Sun
Despite the observational effort carried out in the last few decades, noperfect solar twin has been found to date. An important milestone wasachieved a decade ago by Porto de Mello & da Silva, who showed that18 Sco is almost a solar twin. In the present work, we use extremelyhigh resolution (R=105), high signal-to-noise ratio KeckHIRES spectra to carry out a differential analysis of 16 solar-twincandidates. We show that HD 98618 is the second-closest solar twin andthat the fundamental parameters of both HD 98618 and 18 Sco are verysimilar (within a few percent) to the host star of our solar system,including the likelihood of hosting a terrestrial planet within theirhabitable zones. We suggest that these stars should be given toppriority in exoplanet and SETI surveys.The data presented herein were obtained at the W. M. Keck Observatory,which is operated as a scientific partnership among the CaliforniaInstitute of Technology, the University of California, and the NationalAeronautics and Space Administration.

Keck HIRES Spectroscopy of Four Candidate Solar Twins
We use high signal-to-noise ratio, high-resolution Keck HIRESspectroscopy of four solar twin candidates (HIP 71813, 76114, 77718, and78399) pulled from our Hipparcos-based Ca II H and K survey to carry outparameter and abundance analyses of these objects. Our spectroscopicTeff estimates are ~100 K hotter than the photometric scale of therecent Geneva-Copenhagen survey; several lines of evidence suggest thephotometric temperatures are too cool at solar Teff. At the same time,our abundances for the three solar twin candidates included in theGeneva-Copenhagen survey are in outstanding agreement with thephotometric metallicities; there is no sign of the anomalously lowphotometric metallicities derived for some late-G UMa group and Hyadesdwarfs. A first radial velocity determination is made for HIP 78399 andUVW kinematics derived for all stars. HIP 71813 appears to be akinematic member of the Wolf 630 moving group (a structure apparentlyreidentified in a recent analysis of late-type Hipparcos stars), but itsmetallicity is 0.1 dex higher than the most recent estimate of thisgroup's metallicity. While certainly solar-type stars, HIP 76114 and77718 are a few percent less massive, significantly older, andmetal-poor compared to the Sun; they are neither good solar twincandidates nor solar analogs providing a look at the Sun at some otherpoint in its evolution. HIP 71813 appears to be an excellent solaranalog of ~8 Gyr age. Our results for HIP 78399 suggest the promise ofthis star as a solar twin may be equivalent to the ``closest ever solartwin,'' HR 6060; follow-up study of this star is encouraged.

Improved Astrometry and Photometry for the Luyten Catalog. II. Faint Stars and the Revised Catalog
We complete construction of a catalog containing improved astrometry andnew optical/infrared photometry for the vast majority of NLTT starslying in the overlap of regions covered by POSS I and by the secondincremental Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) release, approximately 44%of the sky. The epoch 2000 positions are typically accurate to 130 mas,the proper motions to 5.5 mas yr-1, and the V-J colors to0.25 mag. Relative proper motions of binary components are measured to 3mas yr-1. The false-identification rate is ~1% for11<~V<~18 and substantially less at brighter magnitudes. Theseimprovements permit the construction of a reduced proper-motion diagramthat, for the first time, allows one to classify NLTT stars intomain-sequence (MS) stars, subdwarfs (SDs), and white dwarfs (WDs). We inturn use this diagram to analyze the properties of both our catalog andthe NLTT catalog on which it is based. In sharp contrast to popularbelief, we find that NLTT incompleteness in the plane is almostcompletely concentrated in MS stars, and that SDs and WDs are detectedalmost uniformly over the sky δ>-33deg. Our catalogwill therefore provide a powerful tool to probe these populationsstatistically, as well as to reliably identify individual SDs and WDs.
