The availability of the Hipparcos Catalogue has triggered many kinematic and dynamical studies of the solar neighbourhood. Nevertheless, those studies generally lacked the third component of the space velocities, i.e., the radial velocities. This work presents the kinematic analysis of 5952 K and 739 M giants in the solar neighbourhood which includes for the first time radial velocity data from a large survey performed with the CORAVEL spectrovelocimeter. It also uses proper motions from the…

From the parallaxes and proper motions of a kinematically unbiased subsample of the Hipparcos Catalogue, it is re-determined as a function of colour the kinematics of main-sequence stars that spiral arms are responsible for the non-axisymmetry and that R0/Rd ≃ 3 to 3, where Rd is the scalelength of the disc.
