- Description:
- We present the first proper motion study of M10 (NGC 6254). Absolute proper motions of about 532 stars in the field of the globular cluster M10 were determined with respect to Hipparcos and ACT reference stars. In addition to photographic plates of Bonn and Shanghai also wide field CCD observations as second epoch plates were used. The wide field CCD observations show an accuracy comparable to that of the photographic plates. A good coincidence of the solutions based on reference stars from Hipparcos and from ACT was found. Our final proper motions allow a sufficient separation of cluster and field stars. Two population II Cepheids were confirmed to be members of M10. The absolute proper motion of M10 was determined and combined with its distance from the Sun and its radial velocity. The space motion and metallicity of M10 indicates the characteristics of a halo object with an orbit reaching to a maximal z-distance of less than 3kpc.

- Description:
- We present proper motions for stars in the field of the galactic globular cluster NGC6341 (M92). This study continues the series of papers from the Bonn programme of globular cluster proper motions. Plates taken with the Bonn double refractor and the Rozhen observatory 2m Ritchey-Chretien telescope with a maximal epoch difference of 94 years were used. Relative proper motions for all well-measurable stars in the 1.5degx1.5deg field covered by the plates were derived. Median proper motion errors are 0.8milliarcsec/year (mas/a) for stars brighter than about V=16.7mag. The cluster membership of UV-bright and variable stars is discussed. The proper motions are compared with the accurate relative proper motions of Rees (1992) and with the absolute proper motions from Schmidt plates referred to galaxies of Scholz et al. (1994). The latter comparison enables us to tie the proper motions of the stars and the mean proper motion of M92 to an inertial system. This calibration has an uncertainty of about 1.0mas/a. The absolute proper motions of Hipparcos stars in the field will be useful for the extragalactic calibration of the Hipparcos proper motion system. The data for 642 stars within 18.6' from the cluster centre is available via the CDS (Centre des Donnees Astronomiques Strasbourg) Data Centre.

- Description:
- Astrometry and B VRI CCD photometry of 115 stars down to B=17.6 in the region of about 11'x11' around the globular cluster NGC 4147 was performed. In the astrometric reduction, three earlier epoch plates taken at Sheshan, Shanghai, China, in 1958 and four recent epoch B-passband CCD frames taken at Kavalur, India, were used. The data were reduced to a catalogue based on measurements of stars on seven plates with an epoch period from 1917 to 1979 taken in Bonn, Germany, and ultimately to the Hipparcos catalogue. The reduction was done with the central overlapping method. Based on the new proper motion data, the membership probabilities of 115 stars were determined. Furthermore, three colour-magnitude diagrams (CMD) of V versus B-V, V-R and V-I, respectively, for HB and GB stars were constructed from CCD photometry obtained with the Vainu Bappu Telescope. An absolute proper motion of the cluster of -2.08+/-0.48mas/yr in right ascension and -3.07+/-0.46mas/yr in declination has been obtained. The space velocity and apogalactic distance of the cluster with respect to the Galactic standard of rest were calculated. In contrast to the first results given in the literature we obtain a significantly lower velocity and a smaller apogalactic distance for NGC 4147.

- Description:
- NGC 6809 is a luminous metal-poor halo globular cluster that is relatively easy to study due to its proximity and low concentration. Because of its high Galactic latitude (b=-23{deg}), interstellar reddening and contamination is not very high. We aim to determine the relative proper motion and membership probability of the stars in the wide area of globular cluster NGC 6809. To target cluster members reliably during spectroscopic surveys and both spatial and radial distributions in the cluster outskirts without including field stars, a good proper motion and membership probability catalogue of NGC 6809 is required.

- Description:
- With a high value of heliocentric radial velocity, a retrograde orbit, and suspected to have an extragalactic origin, NGC 3201 is an interesting globular cluster for kinematical studies. Our purpose is to calculate the relative proper motions (PMs) and membership probability for the stars in the wide region of globular cluster NGC 3201. PM based membership probabilities are used to isolate the cluster sample from the field stars. The membership catalog will help address the question of chemical inhomogeneity in the cluster. Archive CCD data taken with a wide-field imager (WFI) mounted on the ESO 2.2m telescope are reduced using the high-precision astrometric software developed by Anderson et al. for the WFI images. The epoch gap between the two observational runs is ~14.3 years. To standardize the BVI photometry, Stetson's secondary standard stars are used. The CCD data with an epoch gap of ~14.3 years enables us to decontaminate the cluster stars from field stars efficiently. The median precision of PMs is better than ~0.8mas/yr for stars having V<18mag that increases up to ~1.5mas/yr for stars with 18<V<20mag. Kinematic membership probabilities are calculated using PMs for stars brighter than V~20mag. An electronic catalog of positions, relative PMs, BVI magnitudes, and membership probabilities in the ~19.7x17arcmin^2^ region of NGC 3201 is presented. We use our membership catalog to identify probable cluster members among the known variables and X-ray sources in the direction of NGC 3201.

- Description:
- Newly determined high-precision relative proper motions determined from the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 are used along with radial velocity measurements to determine the dynamical distance to the globular cluster M15. A comparison of the proper motion and radial velocity dispersions from a sample of 237 stars, located at an average radial distance of about 10" from the cluster center, yields a cluster distance of 9.98+/-0.47kpc. This distance agrees to within the stated errors to other distance estimates but places this object about 5% closer than the currently adopted value of 10.4kpc. Using this new distance, we estimate that RR Lyrae stars having [Fe/H]=-2.15 have a value of Mv(RR)=0.51+/-0.11. We also estimate that M15 has an age of about 13.2Gyr, which places it among the oldest of the Galactic globular clusters. From a comparison of the observed velocity dispersion with results from recent N-body calculations, we derive a total cluster mass for M15 of M_C_=4.5x10^5^M_{sun}_.

- Description:
- We derive relative proper motions of stars in the fields of globular clusters M4, M12, M22, NGC 3201, NGC 6362 and NGC 6752 based on a uniform data set collected between 1997 and 2008. We assign a membership class for each star with a measured proper motion and show that these membership classes can be successfully used to eliminate field stars from color-magnitude diagrams of the clusters. They also allow for the efficient selection of rare objects such as blue/yellow/red stragglers and stars from the asymptotic giant branch.

- Description:
- New proper motions have been derived from reductions of PDS microdensitometer scans of 17 Yerkes refractor plates spanning an epoch range of 88 years for 515 stars down to V~15.6 in the region of the globular cluster M5. Photographic photometry in B and V has been obtained for these stars from these scans and scans of six Yerkes reflector plates. The present proper motions have significantly improved precision compared to Cudworth [AJ, 84, 1866 (1979)]. Membership probabilities derived from the new proper motions are largely in agreement with those from Cudworth's study, but this paper includes nearly 200 additional stars, many of which are probable members. A color-magnitude diagram of probable members is presented and discussed, as well as comparisons to previous photometry. All but two of the previously known or suspected variables are found to be highly probable members. These proper motions have been used by Cudworth & Hanson [AJ, 105, 168 (1993)] to derive a large space velocity for M5, implying that it is a rich outer halo cluster on an eccentric orbit near perigalacticon. These motions will be used in a forthcoming paper to explore the internal dynamics of M5, including a derivation of the cluster distance by comparison of the proper motion and radial velocity dispersions.

- Description:
- We present the results of an internal proper motion analysis of the inner region of M15 using Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images. The motions of 704 stars with brightnesses above that of the cluster turnoff (V<18.3) are analyzed to determine the velocity dispersion profile within about 15" of the cluster center. The average signal-to-noise ratio of these motions is about 3, and stars in the innermost radial bin have an average core distance of only 0.7". Assuming a distance to M15 of 10kpc, we estimate that the velocity dispersion within this innermost bin is 14.5+/-2.5km/s and that it slowly decreases outward, reaching a value of 9.8+/-0.8km/s at R=15.6". We find that the proper-motion dispersion profile is in good agreement with the predictions of recent N-body simulations that do not require the presence of a central intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH). The agreement between the observed profile and the N-body simulations is marginally improved if one assumes that when a neutron star is created as a result of stellar evolution, it escapes from the cluster. Based on the results of this study and a review of other investigations, it is concluded that there is little direct evidence that M15 possesses an intermediate-mass black hole.

- Description:
- For the first time the astrometric capabilities of the MCAO facility GeMS with the GSAOI camera on Gemini-South are tested to quantify the accuracy in determining stellar proper motions in the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6681. Proper motions from HST/ACS for a sample of its stars are already available, and this allows us to construct a distortion-free reference at the epoch of GeMS observations that is used to measure and correct the temporally changing distortions for each GeMS exposure. In this way, we are able to compare the corrected GeMS images with a first-epoch of HST/ACS images to recover the relative proper motion of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy with respect to NGC 6681. We find this to be (pm_{alpha}_cos{delta}, pm_{delta}_)=(4.09,-3.41)mas/yr, which matches previous HST/ACS measurements with a very good accuracy of 0.03mas/yr and with a comparable precision (r.m.s of 0.43mas/yr). This study successfully demonstrates that high-quality proper motions can be measured for quite large fields of view (85arcsecx85arcsec) with MCAO-assisted, ground-based cameras and provides a first, successful test of the performances of GeMS on multi-epoch data.
