Determination of pixel coordinates of stars and analysis of systematic errors

Lorentz profile was used to approximate stellar images. Data within 40-pixels aperture centered at the photocenter of the image was used to calculate PSF parameters. Astrometric calibrations were performed with "good" UCAC3 stars. Analysis of systematic residuals of pixels coordinates allowed us to calculate corrections depended on x,y and mag.

Stars with this value of F may be considered as -binaries candidates. The level of significance is 0.95.

48 stars from WDS catalog were contained in our material. About half of them were qualified as -binaries candidates. It is significantly more than expected in the case of random work of criterion.

70 non-WDS stars among 413 program stars
were detected as -binaries candidates.

The model with inclination terms was applied to calculate pixel positions of investigated star in the coordinates of reference CCD frame. It is caused by relatively large differences between optical centers (Pulkovo -- SDSS). Unit weight errors are within 10 to 30 mas.

Conclusions
The proper motions of LSPM 413 stars were determined with the Pulkovo Normal astrograph and CCD-surveys data (SDSS, 2MASS, CMC14, M2000). Accuracy of these new proper motions in HCRF is about 1 to 4 mas/yr. It confirmed by comparisons with Kiev catalog and LSPM data. The results of work allows us to say that the Wielen approach to detect binary nature of stars of FK6 calalog can be used for stars with large proper motions. 70 stars were detected as -binaries candidates using comparison between quasi instant proper motions determined in this work with average proper motions taken from Kiev catalog and LSPM catalog. Determination of the proper motions from image-to-image reductions (Pulkovo ­ SDSS, Pulkovo ­ POSSI) is performed. Standard error of transformation of pixels coordinates of stars from SDSS CCD-image to Pulkovo CCD-image is 10 to 30 mas. The majority of previous -binaries detections are confirmed by analysis of the results of image-to-image reductions . All data presented in this work available in appropriate publications and via web (www.puldb.ru).
