Scientific paper

The recently released Tycho-2 Catalogue is expected to supersede the currently used catalogs based on the Tycho data, specifically, the ACT Reference Catalog and the Tycho Reference Catalogue. Here the proper motions of the newly released Tycho-2 Catalogue are compared with those of the Hipparcos Catalogue and the ACT Reference Catalog. Tycho-2 is found to be consistent with Hipparcos at a level below 0.5 mas yr-1. Comparisons with the ACT reveal differences in systematic errors between the two, most likely due to the 1997 reduction of the Astrographic Catalogue. This comparison shows that the ACT follows the Hipparcos system at a level better than 1.0 mas yr-1, but Tycho-2 is an improvement. Some of the largest deviations of individual stars between Tycho-2 and the other two catalogs are also investigated.
