I/150 Proper Motions for High Luminosity Stars (Valitova+ 1990)

The Catalogue of Proper Motions for High Luminosity Stars

ADC_Keywords: Proper motions ; Stars, luminous
Description:
Meridian circle observations of high luminosity stars were used to
supplement previous positions to derive improved proper motions. The
proper motions and positions are derived for J2000.0 and for the epoch
of observation but the systematic correction: FK5-FK4 and the
correction to FK5 for each star were ignored. V magnitudes and MK
spectral types are taken from published catalogs.
Introduction:
The stars selected for observation were taken from lists provided by
Parenago and by Blaauw supplemented by lists compiled at the Sternberg
Institute. The proper motions were taken from papers by Karimova,
Pavlovskaya, and Toropova (1974) and Karimova and Pavlovskaya (1981)
supplemented by new positional catalogs published after these papers
were written.
For GC stars, the number of catalogs used to refine the GC motions is
given; for other stars, the complete number of catalogs used is
listed. The method described in the GC (Boss, 1937) is employed with
weights of additional catalogs taken from Karimova and Pavlovskaya
(1971), from the published internal errors, or from the table from
Karimova and Pavlovskaya (1971). To convert from B1950.0 to J2000.0,
the standard matrix method from the Astronomical Almanac for 1989 was
used.
