Description:
We have used COSMOS scans of photographic plates taken by the
Palomar Oschin Schmidt telescope (as part of the original Palomar
Sky Survey) and by the UK Schmidt telescope to obtain proper
motions for ∼ 450 000 stars within a 112-degree region covering
part of the Hyades cluster. With epoch differences of 33 to 37 yr,
we have obtained proper motions accurate to 6-12 mas/yr
and have identified 393 candidate Hyads to a limiting magnitude of
Mv ∼ +15.5, including at least two new white dwarf candidates.
The main-sequence luminosity function determined from our sample
is similar to that defined by local field stars, with a broad
maximum at Mv ∼ +12. Deriving distances from mu u, the proper
motion towards the convergent point, and the space velocity
determined by Gunn et al., we find stars with motions consistent
with membership at distances of more than 15pc from the cluster
centre. Moreover, both the line-of-sight and surface density
distributions show evidence for significant mass segregation -
indeed, the overall proper motion distribution suggests a tight
core centred within a much broader distribution. We derive a total
mass of 410-480Sun and a gravitational binding radius of ∼ 10.5pc.
