With a high value of heliocentric radial velocity, a retrograde orbit, and being suspected to have an extragalactic origin, NGC 3201 is an interesting globular cluster for kinematical studies. Our purpose is to calculate the relative proper motions (PMs) and membership probability for the stars in the wide region of globular cluster NGC 3201. Proper motion based membership probabilities are used to isolate the cluster sample from the field stars. The membership catalogue will help address the question of chemical inhomogeneity in the cluster. Archive CCD data taken with a wide-field imager (WFI) mounted on the ESO 2.2m telescope are reduced using the high-precision astrometric software developed by Anderson et al. for the WFI images. The epoch gap between the two observational runs is $sim$14.3 years. To standardize the $BVI$ photometry, Stetsons secondary standard stars are used. The CCD data with an epoch gap of $sim$14.3 years enables us to decontaminate the cluster stars from field stars efficiently. The median precision of PMs is better than $sim$0.8 mas~yr$^{-1}$ for stars having $V<$18 mag that increases up to $sim$1.5 mas~yr$^{-1}$ for stars with $18<V<20$ mag. Kinematic membership probabilities are calculated using proper motions for stars brighter than $Vsim$20 mag. An electronic catalogue of positions, relative PMs, $BVI$ magnitudes and membership probabilities in $sim$19.7$times$17 arcmin$^2$ region of NGC 3201 is presented. We use our membership catalogue to identify probable cluster members among the known variables and $X$-ray sources in the direction of NGC 3201.
Using astrometric techniques developed by Anderson et al., we determine proper motions (PMs) in 14.60 arcmin X 16.53 arcmin area of the kinematically thick-disk globular cluster M12. The clusters proximity and sparse nature makes it a suitable target
Aims: for the first time the astrometric capabilities of the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) facility GeMS with the GSAOI camera on Gemini-South are tested to quantify the accuracy in determining stellar proper motions in the Galactic globular
We derive relative proper motions of stars in the fields of globular clusters M4, M12, M22, NGC 3201, NGC 6362 and NGC 6752 based on a uniform data set collected between 1997 and 2008. We assign a membership class for each star with a measured proper
By exploiting two ACS/HST datasets separated by a temporal baseline of ~7 years, we have determined the relative stellar proper motions (providing membership) and the absolute proper motion of the Galactic globular cluster M71. The absolute proper mo
We present the abundance analysis for a sample of 18 red giant branch stars in the metal-poor globular cluster NGC 4147 based on medium and high resolution spectra. This is the first extensive spectroscopic study of this cluster. We derive abundances
