Mass estimates from stellar proper motions: The mass of Centauri
R. D'Souza, Hans-Walter Rix
We lay out and apply methods to use proper motions of individual kinematic tracers for estimating the dynamical mass of star clusters. We first describe a simple projected mass est…

Mass estimates from stellar proper motions: The mass of Centauri
Richard D'Souza, Hans-Walter Rix
A projected mass estimator and a maximum likelihood estimator are developed to best determine the mass of stellar clusters from proper motion data. Both methods effectively account…
