Abstract

We identify a group of ∼20 comoving, mostly southern hemisphere, ∼200 Myr old stars near Earth. Of the stars likely to be members of this Carina-Near moving group, in either its nucleus (∼30 pc from Earth) or its surrounding stream, all but three are plausible members of a multiple star system. The nucleus is (coincidentally) located quite close to the nucleus of the AB Doradus moving group notwithstanding that the two groups have substantially different ages and Galactic space motions, UVW.
