Description:
The Kepler satellite has observed the Galactic center in a campaign
lasting from April until the end of June 2016 (K2/C9). The main
objective of the 99 hours for the microlensing program 097.C-0261(A)
using the ESO VLT Survey Telescope (VST) was to monitor the superstamp
(i.e., the actually downloaded region of K2/C9) in service mode for
improving the event coverage and securing some color-information. Due
to weather conditions, the majority of images were taken in the red
band. These are part of the present release.
The exact pointing strategy was adjusted to cover the superstamp with
6 pointings and to contain as many microlensing events from earlier
seasons as possible. In addition, a two-point dither was requested to
reduce the impact of bad pixels and detector gaps. Consequently, some
events were getting more coverage and have been observed with
different CCDs. The large footprint of roughly 1 square degree and the
complementary weather conditions at Cerro Paranal have lead to the
coverage of 147 events (this resource's events table), but ~60 of
those were already at baseline.

Description:
The First Byurakan Survey (FBS) is the largest and the first systematic
objective prism survey of the extragalactic sky. It covers 17,000 sq.deg.
in the Northern sky together with a high galactic latitudes region in the
Southern sky. The FBS has been carried out by B.E. Markarian, V.A.
Lipovetski and J.A. Stepanian in 1965-1980 with the Byurakan Observatory
102/132/213 cm (40"/52"/84") Schmidt telescope using 1.5 deg. prism. Each
FBS plate contains low-dispersion spectra of some 15,000-20,000 objects;
the whole survey consists of about 20,000,000 objects.
TheoSSA provides spectral energy distributions based on model
atmosphere calculations. Currently, we serve results obtained using
the Tübingen NLTE Model Atmosphere Package (TMAP) for hot compact
stars.
