Proper Motion Determination

Proper Motion Determination is a methodological framework in astrometry that quantifies the apparent angular motion of celestial objects across the sky over time by systematically measuring and analyzing position changes relative to distant background reference sources, thereby distinguishing intrinsic stellar or planetary kinematics from observational artifacts.
