Interstellar polarization at high galactic latitudes from distant stars. V. First results for the South Galactic Pole
We present the first results of our interstellar polarization programmefor the South Galactic Pole (b<-70degr ). The new observations (43stars) combined with previously published data show that there is asubstantial interstellar polarization in this area of the sky. Startingat a distance of 300 pc, we have found stars with P > 0.3% includingone for which P ~ 0.6%. These measurements lead to the conclusion thatthere is a significant amount of interstellar dust at high southgalactic latitudes. Futhermore, there is a remarkable alignment seenover the South Polar Cap: for most stars the directions of polarizationvectors are aligned with the longitude l ~ 80degr , close to theexpected direction of the global magnetic field. In this respect the SGPseems to differ strongly from its northern counterpart.

GPM1 - a catalog of absolute proper motions of stars with respect to galaxies
The description of the first version of the General Compiled Catalogueof Absolute Proper Motions (GPM1) for a sample of HIPPARCOS stars,derived with respect to galaxies within the plan called Catalogue ofFaint Stars (KSZ, Deutch 1952), is presented. The principal aim of theGPM1 construction was to provide absolute proper motions of stars todetermine the rotation of the HIPPARCOS system. The GPM1 cataloguecontains 977 HIPPARCOS Input Catalogue stars with V magnitudes $5^m -11^m in 180 fields north of -25 degrees of declination. The accuracy ofthe proper motions is 8 mas/yr (milliarcseconds per year). Comparison ofproper motions of GPM1 with those of the PPM and ACRS was performed andanalyzed with respect to systematic errors caused by spurious rotationof the FK5 system. The standard errors show that the rotation may bedetermined with an accuracy better than 1 mas/yr. Catalog is onlyavailable in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftpcdsarc.u-strasbg.fr or ftp 130.79.128.5.
