Galactic Searches for Dark Matter (2012, background): “Further, accurate proper motion measurements are required; for local stars the typical uncertainty from the proper motion is 3 − 4 mas yr−1 (Munn et al., 2004).”

The Milky Way’s stellar disk (2013, background): “Multi-epoch surveys, or the comparison of different surveys from different epochs then provide proper motions, and—with sufficient precision—useful parallaxes (e.g., Perryman et al. 1997; Munn et al. 2004).”
THE GENESIS OF THE MILKY WAY'S THICK DISK VIA STELLAR MIGRATION (2010, methodology): “Ivezić et al. (2008, hereafter I08) further extended this global analysis of SDSS data by developing a photometric metallicity estimator and by utilizing a large proper motion catalog based on SDSS and Palomar Observatory Sky Survey data (Munn et al. 2004).”
A Comprehensive Model for the Monoceros Tidal Stream (2004, methodology): “0 positions (Monet et al. 2003) with those from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey 1 catalog, as detailed in Munn et al. (2004).”
Kinematics of SDSS subdwarfs: structure and substructure of the Milky Way halo (2009, background): “It reaches almost 2 magnitudes fainter than the SDSS/USNOB catalogue (Monet et al. 2003; Munn et al. 2004), making it the deepest large-area photometric and astrometric catalogue available.”
The Galaxy in Context: Structural, Kinematic, and Integrated Properties (2016, methodology): “An additional refinement was to combine the Palomar Optical Sky Survey and the SDSS data to derive PMs (e.g., Munn et al. 2004).”
Substructure revealed by RR Lyraes in SDSS Stripe 82 (2009, methodology): “Such combined catalogues, drawn from the intersections of SDSS data with USNO-B data (Monet et al. 2003), have been constructed before (Munn et al. 2004; Gould & Kollmeier 2004; Kilić et al. 2006).”
SEGUE: A SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY OF 240,000 STARS WITH g = 14–20 (2009, methodology): “For a few categories (cool WD, K giant, and M subdwarf candidates), the presence (or absence) and amplitude of a proper motion measurement from a match to an astrometric catalog (Munn et al. 2004; Lepine 2008) is also used.”
THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY DATA RELEASE 7 SPECTROSCOPIC M DWARF CATALOG. I. DATA (2011, methodology): “…13 Good proper motions are defined as those with MATCH =1, DIST22 > 7, SIGRA < 1000, SIGDEC < 1000 and (NFIT = 6 or (NFIT = 5 and (O < 2 or J < 2))) (Munn et al. 2004). motions and distances were combined with the RVs to produce three-dimensional (3D) space motions for the DR7 M dwarfs.”
CONSTRAINING THE MILKY WAY POTENTIAL WITH A SIX-DIMENSIONAL PHASE-SPACE MAP OF THE GD-1 STELLAR STREAM (2009, methodology): “0 (Monet et al. 2003) with SDSS data (Munn et al. 2004, 2008), which we take from SDSS DR7(Abazajian et al. 2009).”
STRUCTURE AND KINEMATICS OF THE STELLAR HALOS AND THICK DISKS OF THE MILKY WAY BASED ON CALIBRATION STARS FROM SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY DR7 (2009, background): “…radial velocity, accurate to better than 20 km s−1 (which eliminates only a handful of stars from consideration), as well as an “acceptable” proper motion available (which means that the star satisfies additional criteria designed to eliminate spurious reported motions; see Munn et al. 2004).”
THE BARYON OSCILLATION SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY OF SDSS-III (2012, methodology): “Objects with existing SDSS spectroscopy, proper motions from Munn et al. (2004, 2008) exceeding 11 mas/year (selection criteria are described further in Haggard et al. 2010), or poor-quality X-ray measurements are removed from the sample.”
FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF THE DISK SYSTEM OF THE MILKY WAY: [α/Fe] RATIOS AND KINEMATICS OF THE SEGUE G-DWARF SAMPLE (2011, methodology): “Proper motion information was obtained based on the procedures described by Munn et al. (2004); the systematic error noted by Munn et al. (2008) has been corrected (final typical errors are 3–4 mas yr−1), and we have adopted the Munn et al. recommendations for maximum fit residuals and minimum…”
THE DISCOVERY AND ANALYSIS OF VERY METAL-POOR STARS IN THE GALAXY (2005, methodology): “…2000), where precision modern-epoch astrometry is being obtained for all detected (and nonsaturated, i.e., 14.0 ≤ g ≤ 20.0) stars in the SDSS footprint, which are then compared with machine scans of previous-generation photographic plates taken between the 1950s and the 1990s (Munn et al. 2004).”
