Proper motions of Galactic Planetary Nebulae

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

More than 1500 Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) are known but only a tiny fraction of them have measured proper motions.

Description

To date, the largest set of proper motion (PM) data for PNe is the one by Cudworth (1974AJ.....79.1384C), which includes 62 objects 25 of which have PM with significance better than 3{sigma}. With our new compilation of 234 PNe we enlarge - compared to Cudworth's 25 - by almost an order of magnitude the number of PNe and central stars (CSs) with reliably measured proper motion (i.e. with significance better than 3{sigma} in at least one component) and confirm some previous measurements.

We have used all-sky astrometric catalogues available via the Vizier database to collect proper motion information for a sample of objects selected from the catalogue of PNe positions of Kerber et al. (2003, Cat. <J/A+A/408/1029>).
