Scientific paper

The sample of subdwarfs are selected from LHS catalogue on the bases of the reduced proper motion diagram utilizing Chui criteria, and confirmed with the available photometric and/or kinematic data. Among them, 20 subdwarfs have trigonometric parallaxes with accuracy better than 20 %. The color-absolute magnitude relation is derived with them. By adopting this color-magnitude relation and V/V_m method, we have derived the subdwarf luminosity function over the absolute magnitude range of M_v = 4.5 and 9.5. This halo luminosity function is consistent with that of Eggen(1987). By adopting the available mass-luminosity relations for halo stars, we have found that the halo IMF is steeper than disk IMFs of Scalo(1986) and Salpter(1955) in this small mass region.
