Abstract
We present the results of an analysis of 28 spectra of 18 Polaris field A–G V stars obtained in 2016–2023. Derived radial velocities and Teff along with distances and reddenings from the Gaia DR3 catalog allowed us to calculate radii of the stars and compare them with calibration relationships “Spectral type – Luminosity” for MS stars. As a result, radii and distances for 9 stars were found overestimated compared to those determined photometrically. Therefore, the DR3 distances are unreliable and should be revisited. According to our data for these stars and their photometric distances, 15 objects belong to a possible old open cluster that is currently dissolved in the Polaris field at a distance ∼70–110pc, while two objects belong to the thick disk, and one belongs to a possible another star group located at a distance of 130 pc.
