Scientific paper

Results of statistical investigations of the nearby early-type stars proposed for observations by the Hipparcos satellite are presented. Findings on spatial orientation and kinematics are in agreement with those found in the literature; an age estimate based on the nonkinematic hypothesis is found to be somewhat smaller than the expansion ages derived in some studies. It is suggested that Gould's Belt may have formed as a result of high-velocity cloud impact on the Galactic disk, and some estimates are presented.
