New high proper motion stars (-90<DE< -47)

When combined with the nine systems having {mu}>=1.0"/yr and/or late spectral type from the initial phases of this effort, we find that 73 of the 150 total systems are moving faster than 0.5"/yr and are therefore new members of the classic Luyten Half-Second sample.

These constitute a 21% increase in the sample of stars with {mu}>=0.5"/yr in the declination region searched, thereby comprising an important addition to this long-neglected region of the sky. Distance estimates are provided for the entire sample, based on a combination of photographic plate magnitudes and Two Micron All Sky Survey photometry, using the relations recently presented by Hambly et al. for the presumed main-sequence stars.
