I/14        Proper Motions of 1160 Late-Type Stars             (Fogh Olsen 1970)

Proper Motions of 1160 Late-Type Stars

Description:
    Improved  proper   motions  for  the  1160   stars  contained  in  the
    photometric   catalog  by  Dickow  et  al.  (1970A&AS....2....1D)  are
    presented.  Most of the proper motions are from the GC, transferred to
    the  system of FK4. For stars not  included in the GC, preliminary AGK
    or SAO proper motions are given. Olsen (1970A&AS....1..189O) describes
    the method  of improvement. The  mean errors of  the centennial proper
    motions  increase with increasing magnitude. In Right Ascension, these
    range from  0.0043/cos(dec) for very bright  stars to 0.096/cos(dec) s
    for the faintest stars.  In Declination,  the range  is from  0.065 to
    1.14 arcsec.
