This survey found 492 stars with proper motions larger than 0.15 arcsec/year wich are not listed in southern proper motion catalogues. Four stars have proper motions larger than 0.5 arcsec/year, in magnitude range between 15.5 and 17.5, close to the photographic magnitude of the Bruce Proper Motion Survey.
Our results are presented in Table 2 (click here), where the content of the
columns is as follows:
Column 1: Our list number.
Column 2: Location number where the
first two or three digits refer to the area number and the other digits
refer to the star number in the area.
Column 3: Estimated photographic
magnitudes.
Columns 4 and 5: Positions for B1950.0.
Columns 6 and 7: Positions for J2000.0.
Column 8: Annual proper
motions referred to equinox J2000.0.
Column 9: Errors.
Column 10: Position angles referred also to equinox J2000.0.
Column 11: Remarks.
Figure 2 shows the finder charts, where North is up and the East is on the left.
