... It is found that the metallisity distribution of disk stars has a gap which subdivide the disk population into two groups. The distribution may be described by the sum of two normal curves which are centered at [Fe/H]=-0.22 and +0.08. The curves can be interpreted as distributions of random errors in metallisity of sample stars. This leads to the conclusion that all stars in each group have actually the same value of [Fe/H]. ...
