| # Detailed Description of J/AJ/142/138 : All-sky catalog of bright M dwarfs (Lepine+, 2011) |

Note : this is the description file of the original catalog. This HTML page corresponds well to the original description, but some minor changes in the format may have been introduced in the FITS output files in order to allow for arithmetic operations on quantities such as coordinates and times. h:m:s and d:m:s units are normally converted into degrees, and YYYY-MM-DD into julian days.
Similarly, some slight changes may have been introduced in the units; the value given in the HTML files supersedes the value indicated in the ReadMe file for this catalogue.

    Abstract:
        We present an all-sky catalog of M dwarf stars with apparent infrared
        magnitude J<10. The 8889 stars are selected from the ongoing
        SUPERBLINK survey of stars with proper motion pm>40mas/yr,
        supplemented on the bright end with the Tycho-2 catalog.

    Description:
        The SUPERBLINK proper motion survey is an all-sky search for stars
        with large proper motions based on a re-analysis of images from the
        Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) using a specialized image-differencing
        algorithm and software.
