The Liverpool-Edinburgh high proper motion survey
Abstract
We present a catalogue of 6206 stars which have proper motions exceeding 0.18arcsec yr-1 with an R-band faint magnitude limit of 19.5 mag. This catalogue has been produced using SuperCOSMOS digitized R-band ESO and UK Schmidt Plates in 131 Schmidt fields covering more than 3 000 square degrees (>7.5% of the whole sky) at the South Galactic Cap. The survey is >= 90% complete within the nominal limits of the Luyten Two Tenths Catalogue of mR <= 18 .5 mag and 0.2 <= mu <=2.5arcsec yr-1, and is >= 80% complete for mR <= 19 .5 mag and mu <=2 .5arcsec yr-1. Catalogue is only available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/397/575
