Scientific paper

Photoelectrically determined color indices of white dwarfs are reviewed with particular emphasis on the possibility that a large percentage of these objects in the solar neighborhood are members of the Hyades and Sirius superclusters. The astrometric, photometric, and spectroscopic data now available for the best-established cases of such membership are discussed. The color-luminosity array obtained from supercluster members is tested against that obtained with trigonometric parallaxes determined at the U.S. Naval Observatory.
