Abstract:
    We present a proper motion catalogue of 2 670 974 stars, covering the
    declination zone +11{deg}<{delta}<+18{deg}. The catalogue has a
    limiting magnitude V=16.2 (Bordeaux CCD meridian circle magnitude) and
    is complete down to V=15.4. Depending on magnitude, the positional
    precision at mean epoch ranges from 50 to 70mas and the precision of
    proper motions varies from 1.5mas/yr to 6mas/yr. Meridian V magnitudes
    are provided for all objects together with additional photometry from
    the 2MASS catalogue when available (99.5% of objects). Positions and
    proper motions are on the ICRS (International Celestial Reference
    System). Proper motions are derived from the comparison of the
    positional M2000 catalogue (systematic observations of the Bordeaux
    Carte du Ciel Zone with the meridian circle, completed in 2000) with
    positions derived from the reduction of 512 Carte du Ciel plates of
    the Bordeaux zone (scanned at the APM Cambridge), the AC2000.2
    catalogue, the USNO-A2.0 catalogue and the unpublished Yellow Sky (YS)
    USNO catalogue. Systematic offsets in 2MASS positions and in UCAC2
    proper motions were revealed from comparisons with PM2000.

Note (1): The bandpass is defined by two combined filters (GC495 and BG38) as
          the wavelength range 520-680nm; This is different from Tycho Vt.
Note (2): V-Ks = 99.999 when no K measurement was available in 2MASS.
Note (3): This goodness of fit is the ratio of the scatter-based and the
          model-based error.
