OGLE-II high proper motion stars towards the Galactic Centre

The photometry data base of the second phase of the OGLE microlensing experiment, OGLE-II, is a rich source of information about the kinematics and structure of the Galaxy. In this work, we use the OGLE-II proper motion catalogue to identify candidate stars which have high proper motions. 521 stars with proper motion μ > 50masyr^-1 in the OGLE-II proper motion catalogue were cross-identified with stars in the MACHO high proper motion catalogue, and the DEep Near-Infrared Survey and Two-Micron All-Sky Survey infrared photometry catalogues. Photometric distances were computed for stars with colours consistent with G/K- and M-type stars. Six stars were newly identified as possible nearby (<50 pc) M dwarfs.
