Abstract

The Calán-ESO Proper-Motion Catalog (CE Catalog) contains 542 stars with proper motions ?0?.2 yr-1, identified in 14 ESO areas in the southern hemisphere. Proper motions were measured from red IIIa-F plates taken 6-16 yr apart. Comparing the CE catalog with the Luyten and the Luyten half-second catalogs, we find that both suffer from incompleteness, which is particularly serious (?40% complete) for mR ? 13, where many of the astrophysically interesting object can be found. Proper motions, coordinates, estimated magnitudes, and finding charts for all objects in the catalog are provided.
