Scientific paper

A spectroscopic analysis based on high S-SNR high-dispersion spectra is presented for four stars suspected to be G or K supergiants lying out of the galactic plane or having peculiar high velocities. This analysis shows that three of them (HD 45829, HD 63700, and HD 68752) are likely to be normal supergiants, though closer than formerly considered; the remaining star (HD 75289) is a metal-rich dwarf, erroneously classified as a supergiant. All stars show variable radial velocities; they are likely to be spectroscopic binaries. A preliminary orbit is obtained for HD 63700.
