Abstract

This catalog contains a summary of the Lowell Proper Motion Survey for the southern hemisphere. The catalog gives the position, motion, magnitude, and color of 2827 stars from the Lowell program. Introduction: The material from which this catalog has been prepared is drawn from Lowell Observatory Bulletins, in which the data have been published from 1958 to 1979. The number of the specific Lowell Bulletin where the object was first identified and measured and a finding chart given is given in the eighth column of the catalog under the heading LOB. The first epoch plates were taken in connection with the trans-Neptunian planet search beginning late in the year 1929. The second epoch matching plates were taken as the blinking and measuring progressed, Therefore the difference in epoch increased from a minimum of 28 years at the beginning of the survey to 48 years as of the date of this catalog. At the inception of the program, a reasonable degree of completeness could be maintained for motions of 0.27"/year and larger. Later in the program the limit was lowered to include motions of 0.20"/year and larger. This catalog, therefore, is a combination of these two limits of motions; however, the percentage of plate regions with the smaller motion limit is much greater in this southern hemisphere catalog than in the northern hemisphere. The four plate regions around the south galactic pole are all measured to the lower limit of motion.
