The Liverpool-Edinburgh high proper motion catalogue

We present a machine selected catalogue of 11 289 objects with proper motions exceeding 0.18<formula notation="TeX">$\arcsec$</formula> <formula notation="TeX">${\rm yr}^{-1}$</formula> and an <formula notation="TeX">$R$</formula>-band faint magnitude limit of 19.5 mag. The catalogue was produced using SuperCOSMOS digitized <formula notation="TeX">$R$</formula>-Band ESO and UK Schmidt Plates in 287 Schmidt fields covering almost 7000 square degrees (~17% of the whole sky) at the South Galactic Cap. The catalogue includes UK Schmidt <formula notation="TeX">$B_J$</formula> and <formula notation="TeX">$I$</formula> magnitudes for all of the stars as well as 2MASS magnitudes for 10 447 of the catalogue stars. We also show that the NLTT is ~95% complete for Dec <formula notation="TeX">$>$</formula> -32.5<formula notation="TeX">$^{\circ}$</formula>.
