Kinematics of metal-poor stars in the galaxy. II. Proper motions for a large nonkinematically selected sample

We present a revised catalog of 2106 Galactic stars, selected without kinem atic bias and with available radial velocities, distance estimates, and met al abundances in the range -4.0 less than or equal to [Fe/H] less than or e qual to 0.0. This update of the 1995 Beers & Sommer-Larsen catalog includes newly derived homogeneous photometric distance estimates, revised radial v elocities for a number of stars with recently obtained high-resolution spec tra, and refined metallicities for stars originally identified in the HK ob jective-prism survey (which account for nearly half of the catalog) based o n a recent recalibration. A subset of 1258 stars in this catalog have avail able proper motions based on measurements obtained with the Hipparcos astro metry satellite or taken from the updated Astrographic Catalogue (second ep och positions from either the Hubble Space Telescope Guide Star Catalog or the Tycho Catalogue), the Yale/San Juan Southern Proper Motion Catalog 2.0, and the Lick Northern Proper Motion Catalog. Our present catalog includes 388 RR Lyrae variables (182 of which are newly added), 38 variables of othe r types, and 1680 nonvariables, with distances in the range 0.1 to 40 kpc.
