Abstract:We present proper motion (PM) measurements within the central region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using nearinfrared data from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Cloud system (VMC). This work encompasses 18 VMC tiles covering a total sky area of βΌ28 deg 2 . We computed absolute stellar PMs from multi-epoch observations in the πΎ π filter over time baselines between βΌ12 and 47 months. Our final catalogue contains βΌ6 322 000 likely LMC member stars with derived PMs. We employed a simple flat-rotating dis… Show more
