The Liverpool-Edinburgh high proper motion survey

We present a catalogue of 6206 stars which have proper motions exceeding 0.18 �� yr −1 with an R-band faint magni- tude limit of 19.5 mag. This catalogue has been produced using SuperCOSMOS digitized R-band ESO and UK Schmidt Plates in 131 Schmidt fields covering more than 3000 square degrees (>7.5% of the whole sky) at the South Galactic Cap. The survey is ≥90% complete within the nominal limits of the Luyten Two Tenths Catalogue of mR ≤ 18.5 mag and 0.2 ≤ µ ≤ 2.5 �� yr −1 , and is ≥80% complete for mR ≤ 19.5 mag and µ ≤ 2.5 �� yr −1 .
