SIMP
(Sondage Infrarouge de Mouvement Propre)
(2000s infrared proper-motion survey)
SIMP (for Sondage Infrarouge de Mouvement Propre)
was a survey in the near infrared,
which began observation in 2005, with the aim of determining
the proper motion of stars through comparison
with earlier Two Micron All-sky Survey (2MASS) observations.
It was carried out with a newer, more sensitive survey imager
(CPAPIR, for "Camera Panoramique Proche Infrarouge") giving it an
increased survey depth and it discovered additional sources.
