Astrometric Research in the Southern Hemisphere

南半球的天体测量研究。货车阿尔特纳博士将继续进行南方自行计划（SPM）的第二个纪元观测，并对SPM的结果绝对自行进行测量、分析和解释。我们的银河系的结构在南银河系极（SGP）的方向进行深入探测，以非常微弱的幅度将提供所需的信息，不同的星系组成部分的空间，运动学和恒星的金属丰度分布的相对贡献。发展一个详细的银河系干涉模型来描述观测到的分布，将有助于把SPM的结果、深SGP研究和其他研究的结果联合收割机结合起来，形成一幅连贯的银河系图像。

Astrometric Research in the Southern Hemisphere. Dr. Van Altena will continue the second epoch observations of the Southern Proper Motion Program (SPM) and the measurement, analysis, and interpretation of the absolute proper motions that are the result of the SPM. A deep probe of the structure of our Galaxy in the direction of the South Galactic Pole (SGP) to very faint magnitudes will provide needed information on the relative contributions of the different galactic components to the spatial, kinematic, and metallicity distributions of the stars. The development of a detailed interpetive model of the Galaxy to describe the observed distributions will help to combine the results of the SPM, the deep SGP study, and the results of other investigations into a coherent picture of the Galaxy.
