Abstract

AbstractWe present preliminary results from a proper motion study of the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Our proper motions show a scatter of ~1.1 mas yr−1 per Carina member star, and we determinate the mean ensemble motion to an accuracy of ~7 mas century−1. While this is a precise measurement of the relative proper motions of Carina members, our correction to an absolute frame is limited by the small number of measured QSOs in the field.
