| Abstract: |
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has proven to be uniquely suited for
the measurement of proper motions (PMs) of stars and galaxies in the
nearby Universe. Here we summarize the main results and ongoing
studies of the HSTPROMO collaboration, which over the past decade has
executed some two dozen observational and theoretical HST projects on
this topic. This is continuing to revolutionize our dynamical
understanding of many objects, including: globular clusters; young
star clusters; stars and stellar streams in the Milky Way halo; Local
Group galaxies, including dwarf satellite galaxies, the Magellanic
Clouds, and the Andromeda galaxy; and AGN black hole Jets. |
