Proposal AST 96-16978 PI: Roberta Humphreys Institution: University of Minnesota-Twin Cities This award supports travel expenses for participants to a workshop at U. MN on "Proper Motions and Galactic Astronomy". About 50 participants are expected. All-sky surveys (e.g. Hipparchos) in progress provide new, large, highly accurate databases. These will be particularly useful in selecting candidates for brown dwarf and extrasolar planet searches, in which there is a strong current interest. The new data also help tie down the first step in the distance scale, on which cosmological theories depend. For these reasons, this is a timely workshop.

PI: Roberta Humphreys机构：明尼苏达大学双城分校该奖项支持参加明尼苏达大学“固有运动和银河天文学”研讨会的参与者的旅费。预计约有50人参加。正在进行的全天巡天（如Hipparchos）提供了新的、大型的、高度精确的数据库。这对于选择褐矮星和太阳系外行星的候选者特别有用，这是目前人们非常感兴趣的。新的数据也有助于确定宇宙理论所依赖的距离尺度的第一步。由于这些原因，这是一个及时的研讨会。
