Abstract
Based on the galactic space velocity components (U, V, W) and with aid of the vector and matrix analyses, we computed the velocity ellipsoid parameters for 790 late-type stars from CoRoT (Convection, Rotation and Transits) observations and 290 L dwarf stars. We ran the calculations for spectral types F, G, and K for late-type stars and L0, L1, L2, and L3 for L dwarf stars. We found that the ratio of the middle to the major axis in the galaxy ranged from 0.35 to 0.73. The vertex deviation from the galactic center was very small for the samples under investigation, which agrees well with earlier calculations.
