Proper motions of young stars in Chamaeleon: II. New kinematical candidate members of Chamaeleon I and II

The Chamaeleon star-forming region has been extensively studied in the last decades. However, most studies have been confined to the densest parts of the clouds. In a previous paper, we analysed the kinematical properties of the spectroscopically confirmed population of the Chamaeleon I and II clouds. We want to search for new kinematical candidate members to the Chamaeleon I and II moving groups, extending the studied area beyond the clouds, and to characterize these new populations using available information from public databases and catalogues. We also want to check if the populations of the moving groups are confined to the present dark clouds. Kinematic candidate members were initially selected on the basis of proper motions and colours using the Fourth US Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC4). The kinematical population of Chamaeleon I and II could be larger and spread over a larger area of the sky than suggested by previous studies. However, the results of this study should be confirmed with spectroscopic data and more precise kinematic information.
