An Improved Proper-Motion Catalog Combining USNO-B and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Open accessAbstract
An improved proper-motion catalog is presented, combining the USNO-B and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) catalogs in the area of sky covered by SDSS Data Release 1 (DR1; 2099 deg 2 ). USNO-B positions are recalibrated using SDSS galaxies, and proper motions are recomputed including both the USNO-B and SDSS positions. Statistical errors in the USNO-B proper motions are decreased by roughly 20%–30%, systematic errors are greatly reduced, and the proper motions are placed on an absolute reference frame. Requiring a match to an SDSS object removes the large number of false high proper motion objects in USNO-B. The resultant catalog is 90% complete to g < 19.7, with statistical errors in the component proper motions of roughly 3–3.5 mas yr -1 , substantially smaller systematic errors, and a contamination rate of less than 0.5%. A number of studies are currently underway using proper motions from this catalog. The catalog is available via ftp.

“For comparison with Table 3, the SDSS-POSS propermotion measurements have an accuracy of ∼ 5 mas yr -1 per coordinate at r = 20 ( Munn et al. 2004 ) , and Gaia DR 2 has delivered a median uncertainty in parallax of 0.7 mas and in proper motion of 1.2 mas yr -1 at its faint end, approximately corresponding to r = 20 ( Gaia Collaboration et al. 2018; Lindegren et al. 2018 ) .”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
