| GPM1 - a catalog of absolute proper motions of stars with respect to galaxies
The description of the first version of the General Compiled Catalogueof Absolute Proper Motions (GPM1) for a sample of HIPPARCOS stars,derived with respect to galaxies within the plan called Catalogue ofFaint Stars (KSZ, Deutch 1952), is presented. The principal aim of theGPM1 construction was to provide absolute proper motions of stars todetermine the rotation of the HIPPARCOS system. The GPM1 cataloguecontains 977 HIPPARCOS Input Catalogue stars with V magnitudes $5^m -11^m in 180 fields north of -25 degrees of declination. The accuracy ofthe proper motions is 8 mas/yr (milliarcseconds per year). Comparison ofproper motions of GPM1 with those of the PPM and ACRS was performed andanalyzed with respect to systematic errors caused by spurious rotationof the FK5 system. The standard errors show that the rotation may bedetermined with an accuracy better than 1 mas/yr. Catalog is onlyavailable in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftpcdsarc.u-strasbg.fr or ftp 130.79.128.5.
| Toward the HIPPARCOS link: astrometry of stars and extragalactic sources in the field of the spiral galaxy M51.
We present absolute proper motions of 14 Hipparcos stars from groundbased photographic astrometry in a 2x2deg field around the spiral galaxyMessier 51. These are part of a catalogue of 340 stars with B<=16,for which positions, proper motions, and B magnitudes have been derivedfrom a series of 16 photographic plates. Due to large epoch differencesof up to 88 years between the observations, the proper motion accuracyis typically <=1mas/a. An extragalactic calibration of the propermotion zero-point is achieved by measuring the fictitious proper motionsof bright extragalactic objects in the field. For this purpose, across-correlation technique was developed. The resulting precision ofthe proper motion link to an extragalactic frame is estimated as1.0mas/a. Measurements of double stars and high proper motion stars arealso discussed.
