Proper Motions in Kapteyn Selected Area 103: A Preliminary Orbit for the Virgo Stellar Stream
Dana I. Casetti-Dinescu, Terrence M. Girard, Steven R. Majewski +5
We present absolute proper motions in Kapteyn Selected Area (SA) 103. This field is located 7 degrees west of the center of the Virgo Stellar Stream (VSS, Duffau et al. 2006), and…
Ground-Based Astrometry 2010-2020
Todd J. Henry, David G. Monet, Paul D. Shankland +3
We discuss the opportunities for astronomical discovery via ground-based astrometry carried out in the United States during the 2010-2020 decade. We describe imminent scientific br…
Velocity Shear of the Thick Disk from SPM3 Proper Motions at the South Galactic Pole
T. M. Girard, V. I. Korchagin, D. I. Casetti-Dinescu +3
The kinematical properties of the Galactic Thick Disk are studied using absolute proper motions from the SPM3 Catalog and 2MASS near-infrared photometry for a sample of ~1200 red g…
Searching for White and Brown Dwarfs in the frame of the MUSYC/CYDER survey
M. Altmann, R. A. M'endez, M. -T. Ruiz +4
MUSYC (MUltiwavelength Survey by Yale and Chile), and its predecessor, the CYDER (Cal'an Yale Deep Extragalactic Research) survey are both deep multiwavelength surveys mainly aimin…
Probing the nature of Possible Open Cluster Remnants with the Southern Proper Motion Program
Giovanni Carraro, Dana Dinescu, Terrence Girard +1
We discuss the nature of eleven Possible Open Cluster Remnants (POCRs) by using absolute proper motions from the Southern Proper Motion (SPM) Program 3 (Girard et al. 2004) combine…
Local Surface Density of the Galactic Disk from a 3-D Stellar Velocity Sample
V. I. Korchagin, T. M. Girard, T. V. Borkova +2
We have re-estimated the surface density of the Galactic disk in the solar neighborhood within 0.4 kpc of the Sun using parallaxes and proper motions of a kinematically and s…
