Description


The FONAC 2.0 is a compiled catalogue of positions, proper motions and photometric data for 2,005,137 stars between declinations of +90° and -2°. The mean epoch of positions is 1988.19. The catalogue was compiled using a new reduction of measurements for more than 1700 plates, which were obtained with the wide-angle astrograph of the Main Astronomical Observatory in Ukraine within the FON project. The acronym FON (Russian, Ukrainian) stands for Photographic Survey of the Northern Sky. The ACT Reference Catalogue as well as the Guide Star and USNO A2.0 catalogues were applied for the reductions of positions and determination of photometric characteristics of stars. Median precision of the FONAC data are ±200 mas, ±3 mas/year and ±0.18 mag in positions, proper motions and magnitudes of stars, respectively.
