Title:

The following objects are the ten highest proper motion stars contained in the Hipparcos Catalogue:

 

Name of star or region	RA, Dec
Barnard's star	269.4, 4.6
Kapteyn's star	77.8, -45.0
Groombridge 1830	178.2, 37.7
Lacaille 9352	346.4, -35.8
CD -37 15492	1.3, -37.3

Notice that many of these stars are also the closest stars to Earth. Which of course, is too be expected.
