The dangers of deprojection of proper motions
We re-examine the method of deprojection of proper motions, which has been used for finding the velocity ellipsoid of stars in the nearby Galaxy. This method is only legitimate if the lines of sight to the individual stars are uncorrelated with the stars' velocities. Very simple models are used...
