... It was found that the Sun lies 9?2 pc above the plane of hte Galactic disk in the direction of North Galactic pole and that F0-F9 stars contribute 0.0035 M /pc 3 to the density of the Galactic disk. ... We used this method to determine the scale height of the subsystem of F stars of the Galactic disk, Z 0 =160?10 pc. ... It is suggested that scale height of the metal-poor stars subsystem is due to the infall of the metall-poor intergalactic gas onto the disk. ...

We investigate models for main-sequence and horizontal-branch (HB) stars constructed using the Carson opacities and make comparisons with models based on the Cox-Stewart opacities. ... The drop in the hydrogen-shell luminosity due to the helium-core expansion during HB evolution is greater than that obtained with the Cox-Stewart opacities. ... Studies of main-sequence (MS) stars lead to agreement with Stothers' (1974a,b, 1976) results for homogeneous models constructed with Carson opacities. ...
