Abstract

The results of observations made at Cerro Tololo to secure UBV photometry for selected southern high-velocity stars are presented. Three objects, LTT 3987, LTT 5334, and HD 123598, were found to possess UV excesses greater than 0.15 mag. Of these, only LTT 5334 has a very unusual galactocentric orbit with an eccentricity of about 0.5.
