Scientific paper

Numerical simulations are used to analyze the breakup of moving groups in the Galactic disk through the internal velocity dispersion of the group components and the tidal effect of the external regular gravitational Galactic field and giant molecular clouds. The initial locations of the group centroids correspond to well-known moving streams: the Hyades, the Pleiades, the Ursa Major cluster, and the group HR 1614. The mean group breakup times have been found as a function of the adopted limiting group size. The interactions of stream stars with giant molecular clouds reduce significantly the group lifetime.
