Abstract
We present a catalogue of 6206 stars which have proper motions exceeding $0.18\arcsec$ yr -1 with an R-band faint magnitude limit of 19.5 mag. This catalogue has been produced using SuperCOSMOS digitized R-band ESO and UK Schmidt Plates in 131 Schmidt fields covering more than 3 000 square degrees ( >7.5% of the whole sky) at the South Galactic Cap. The survey is $\ge$90% complete within the nominal limits of the Luyten Two Tenths Catalogue of $m_R\le18.5$ mag and $0.2\le\mu\le2.5\arcsec$ yr -1, and is $\ge$80% complete for $m_R\le19.5$ mag and $\mu\le2.5\arcsec$ yr -1.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
