Scientific paper

New probable Pleiades cluster members are identified, based on an unbiased survey of stars within 4 x 4-deg region centered near Alcyone. The faint magnitude limit of the survey is about V = 18, and the bright limit is about V = 14. In order to accurately define the luminosity function of the Pleiades, new proper motions are derived for a large number of stars previously suggested as possible Pleiades members. Accurate coordinates, V magnitudes, and membership probabilities are provided for these stars.
