Z component of the angular momentum, Lɀ, versus the orbit eccentricity for the 15 selected targets whose 2-sigma errors on distance are lower than 500 pc. Two regions defined by Pauli et al. (2006) are indicated by the dotted lines. They correspond to areas occupied mostly by thin disk (region A) and by thick disk (region B) WDs, all located up to 3 kpc of the Sun. The latter group of stars are of higher eccentricity (e > 0.27) and lower angular momentum.
