ADC_Keywords: Clusters, open; Proper motions; Cross identifications
Keywords: astrometry - proper motions; clusters - open; stars - low mass
Abstract:
We present the results of a deep proper motion survey of a 19 square degree
area of the Galactic open cluster Praesepe. Details of the astrometric and
photometric reductions are given, along with the selection process for
members.
