A preliminary investigation of proper motions of faint stars in the Hazard 8hr region
Abstract
By studing stellar proper motions on Schmidt plates it is possible to investigate the dynamical structure of the galaxy. In particular, by analyzing the motion of disk stars with limiting magnitudes, distance estimates out to 1 kpc or more and measures of the differential rotation within the galaxy can be obtained.
