Description:
The ESA PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission will search for terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars. Because of telemetry limitations PLATO targets need to be pre-selected. In this paper we present an all sky catalog that will be fundamental to select the best PLATO fields and the most promising target stars, derive their fundamental parameters, analyze the instrumental performances and then plan and optimize follow-up observations. This catalog also represents a valuable resource for the general definition of stellar samples optimized for the search of transiting planets. We used Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) astrometry and photometry and 3D maps of the local interstellar medium to isolate FGK (V<=13) and M(V<=16) dwarfs and subgiant stars. We present the first public release of the all sky PLATO Input Catalog (asPIC1.1) containing a total of 2675539 stars among which 2378177 FGK dwarfs and subgiants and 297362 M dwarfs. The median distance in our sample is 428pc for FGK stars and 146 pc for M dwarfs, respectively. We derived the reddening of our targets and developed an algorithm to estimate stellar fundamental parameters (Teff, radius, mass) from astrometric and photometric measurements. We show that our overall (internal+external) uncertainties on the stellar parameters determination is ~230K (4%) for the effective temperatures, ~0.1R_{sun}_ (9%) for the stellar radii and ~0.1M_{sun}_ (11%) for the stellar mass. We release a special target list containing all known planet hosts cross-matched with our catalog.

Description:
Photographic observations of XX century contained numerous and varied information about all objects and events of the Universe fixed on the astronegatives. The original and interesting observations of small bodies of the Solar system in previous years can be selected and used for various scientific tasks. Existing databases and online services can help make such selection easily and quickly. The observations of chronologically earlier oppositions, photometric evaluation of brightness for long periods of time allow refining the orbits of asteroids and identifying various non-stationarities. Photographic observations of the Northern Sky Survey project (FON project) were used for global search for small bodies of Solar system. About 2000 photographic plates of Kitab part of the FON project were made using Double Wide Angle Astrograph at the Kitab observatory (Uzbekistan) during 1981-1989. Early, using that digitized observations the catalogue of equatorial coordinates and stellar magnitudes for more than 13 million stars and galaxies up to B=17.5m was compiled. At present, we analyzed all processing results for the search of asteroids and compiled the catalogue of equatorial coordinates and stellar magnitudes of them. As a result more than 4500 asteroids and comets with visual magnitude from 7.7m to 17.5m were identified now. All positions of asteroids were compared with ephemeris. A preliminary analysis of O-C differences was carried out. New and interesting are that the moments of official discovery of some identified asteroids much later than their moments of Kitab's observation. In addition, some of them are the earliest observations of these asteroids in the world among all known observations. More than 915 observations of such asteroids have been found on the plates of Kitab part of the FON project.
35. Astrographic Catalog Reference Stars (ACRS)

Title:
Astrographic Catalog Reference Stars (ACRS)
Short Name:
I/171
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The ACRS is an all-sky catalog of positions and proper motions that is based on the AGK3 in the north and on the newly completed second Cape Photographic Catalogue (CPC2, de Vegt et al. 1989) in the south. The astrometric data are on the system of the International Reference Stars (IRS, catalog <I/172>), compiled on B1950.0 FK4 and then transformed to J2000.0 FK5. The ACRS contains 320,111 stars, the mean positions for which were derived from a total of 1,643,783 individual input positions. The catalog is divided into two parts. Part 1 contains stars having better observational histories and, therefore, more reliable positions and proper motions, while the stars in Part 2 have poor histories and consist mostly of objects for which only two catalog positions in one or both coordinates were available for computing proper motions. For Part 1, which consists of 78 percent of the catalog, the mean errors of the proper motions in right ascension and declination are 0.47 and 0.46 seconds of arc/century (4.7 and 4.6 mas/yr), respectively. It is intended that, as more observations are accumulated for stars in Part 2, they will be migrated to Part 1. The catalog was compiled at the U.S. Naval Observatory, Washington, D.C., for purposes of performing new reductions of the Astrographic Catalogue plates. Additional details about the construction of the ACRS may be found in Corbin and Urban (1989). The data included are catalog part, ACRS number, equatorial coordinates (equinox, equator, epoch B1950.0 and J2000.0), proper motions (B1950.0 and J2000.0), original epochs, weights for right ascension and declination, and reference data such as DM numbers (BD, CD, CPD), AGK3 and CPC2 designations, and an IAU recommended ACRS identifier (based on coordinates).

Title:
Astrographic Catalogue, +01 to +31 Degrees
Short Name:
I/96
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This machine-readable version of the Astrographic Catalogue (AC), zones +01 to +31 degrees is the result of the determination of mean values for position and magnitude at a mean epoch of observation for each unique star in the original catalogs. The zones considered here (Oxford, Paris, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Algiers [partial]) contained 1,870,976 individual measures, from which the catalog of mean data for 1,025,208 stars was derived. Further analysis by Dr. D.W. Dunham and at the ADC yielded an additional 27897 apparently duplicate entries, which were eliminated to produce the final catalog. The estimated mean standard errors for positional and magnitude data are 0.4 arcsec in each coordinate and 0.4 mag, respectively. Data in this version include <m(pg)>, <Epoch>, <RA> at mean epoch, <DEC> at mean epoch. The mean values are unweighted. No star identifications are provided; hence the user must select stars from the catalog and then identify them in other catalogs or on charts using the equatorial coordinates.

Description:
We describe the astrometric reduction of images obtained with the FORS2/VLT camera in the framework of an astrometric planet search around 20 M/L-transition dwarfs. We present the correction of systematic errors, the achieved astrometric performance, and a new astrometric catalogue containing the faint reference stars in 20 fields located close to the galactic plane. Remote reference stars are used both to determine the astrometric trajectories of the nearby planet search targets and to identify and correct systematic errors. We detected three types of systematic errors in the FORS2 astrometry: the relative motion of the camera's two CCD chips, errors that are correlated in space, and an error contribution of yet unexplained origin. The relative CCD motion has probably a thermal origin and usually is 0.001-0.010px (0.1-1mas), but sometimes amounts to 0.02-0.05px (3-6mas). This instability and space- correlated errors are detected and mitigated using reference stars. The third component of unknown origin has an amplitude of 0.03-0.14mas and is independent of the observing conditions. We find that a consecutive sequence of 32 images of a well-exposed star over 40min at 0.6arcsec seeing results in a median r.m.s. of the epoch residuals of 0.126mas. Overall, the epoch residuals are distributed according to a normal law with a {chi}^2^ value near unity. We compiled a catalogue of 12000 stars with I-band magnitudes of 16-22 located in 20 fields, each covering 2x2'. It contains I-band magnitudes, ICRF positions with 40-70mas precision, and relative proper motions and absolute trigonometric parallaxes with a precision of 0.1mas/yr and 0.1mas at the bright end, respectively. This work shows that an astrometric accuracy of ~100 micro-arcseconds over two years can be achieved with a large optical telescope in a survey covering several targets and varying observing conditions.

Astrometric Catalogue 5, LQAC-5
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In addition to their great astrophysical interest, quasars represent quasi-ideal reference objects in the celestial sphere with, a priori, a lack of significant proper motion. Since the fourth release of the Large Quasar Astrometric Catalogue (LQAC-4), a large number of quasars have been discovered, in particular those coming from the DR14Q release of the SDSS. With the advent of the Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2), it is now also possible to fold in extremely accurate quasar positions. Following the same procedure as in the previous releases of the LQAC, our aim is to compile the large majority of the recorded quasars, with their best estimated coordinates and substantial information about their physical properties such as the redshift, multi-bands apparent, and absolute magnitudes. Emphasis is given to the results of the cross-matches with the Gaia DR2 catalogue, which considerably increases the positional accuracy. New quasars from the SDSS DR14Q release were cross-matched with the precedent LQAC-4 compilation with a 1" search radius, which leads to 149084 objects not present in the previous LQAC-4 release. Another cross-match was done with the Gaia DR2 catalogue, which enables us to considerably improve the positioning of these objects. For the first time, parallaxes and proper motions from the DR2, when available, are added to our compilation. Furthermore, a cross-identification of the LQAC-5 with the AllWISE survey gives additional mid-infrared information for an important percentage of objects. Our final catalogue, namely the LQAC-5, contains 592 809 quasars. This represents roughly a 34% increase with respect to the number of objects recorded in the LQAC-4. Among them, 398 697 objects were found in common with the Gaia DR2, within a 1" search radius. That corresponds to 67.26% of the whole population of the compilation. The LQAC-5 delivers a nearly complete catalogue of spectroscopically confirmed quasars (including a small proportion of 14126 compact AGN's) to the astronomical community, with the aim of giving their best equatorial coordinates with respect to the ICRF2 and with exhaustive additional information. For more than 50% of the sample, these coordinates are extracted from the very recent Gaia DR2.
