Description:
MAST hosts a copy of the SkyMapper DR4 catalog.
SMSS DR4 contains optical photometry in the 6 SkyMapper filters (u,v,g,r,i,z) for ~700 million astrophysical sources over 26,000 sq.deg, ranging from the South Celestial Pole to Dec=+16 degrees for objects with data in all bands, and some sources as far North as +29 degrees. The photometry is drawn from over 15 billion measurements made from more than 400,000 images acquired by the 1.3m SkyMapper telescope between March 2014 and September 2021. The typical 10-sigma depths for each field range between 18.5 and 20.5 ABmag, depending on the filter, but certain sky regions include longer exposures that reach as deep as 22 ABmag.
Compared to previous SkyMapper data releases, DR4 includes significant enhancements in data processing, most notably a new photometric calibration anchored to synthetic photometry from Gaia low-resolution spectroscopy, which resolves reddening- and spatial-trends identified in previous releases, especially in the bluest filters, u and v.
A large number of other photometric and spectroscopic surveys have been cross-matched to the dr4.master table of objects, to facilitate various scientific investigations.

Description:
MINIJ-PAS PDR201912 Catalogue (December, 2019) is based on scientific images in 60 filters covering a total area of ~1 square degree. MiniJ-PAS is a 60-band photometric optical survey based on images collected by the JST250 telescope and the Pathfinder instrument at the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre (OAJ, Teruel, Spain) . Please include the following in any published material that makes use of this data: "Based on observations made with the JST250 telescope and PathFinder camera for Mini J-PAS project at the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre, in Teruel, owned, managed and operated by the Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón."
NED's implementation of the VO Table Access Protocol, or TAP.
The results include main information from NED about the objects:
Preferred name for the object, Position, Redshift, Type of the Object, and numbers
of main results for the object.
OpenNGC is a database containing positions and main data of NGC (New
General Catalogue) and IC (Index Catalogue) objects. It has been built
by merging data from NED, HyperLEDA, SIMBAD, and several databases
available at HEASARC.
In this VO publication, we have changed most of the column names,
mostly to make them work as ADQL column names without resorting to
delimited identifiers. The mapping should be obvious.
Parameters of 220 million stars from Gaia BP/RP (XP) spectra

Description:
We present astrophysical parameters of 220 million stars, based on
Gaia XP spectra and near-infrared photometry from 2MASS and WISE.
Instead of using ab initio stellar models, we develop a data-driven
model of Gaia XP spectra as a function of the stellar parameters, with
a few straightforward built-in physical assumptions. This resource is
a VO re-publication of the resulting catalog of stellar parameters.

Description:
Small subset of the SuperCOSMOS Science Archive, useful for testing queries. The SuperCOSMOS data held in the SSA primarily originate from scans of Palomar and UK Schmidt blue, red and near-IR southern sky surveys. The ESO Schmidt R (dec < -17.5) and Palomar POSS-I E (dec > -17.5) surveys have also been scanned and provide a 1st epoch red measurement. Further details on the surveys, the scanning process and the raw parameters extracted can be found on the further information link. The SSA is housed in a relational database running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Data are stored in tables which are inter-linked via reference ID numbers. In addition to the astronomical object catalogues these tables also contain information on the plates that were scanned, survey field centres and calibration coefficients. Most user science queries will only need to access the SOURCE table or to a lesser extent the DETECTION table.
The database of Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) photometrical observations
obtained on defferent telescopes at Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute,
Almaty, Kazakhstan. Observations were carried out in the optical
range.

Description:
The Rontgen Satellite Archive is an implementation of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue (RASS-BSC, revision 1RXS) and the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Faint Source Catalogue (RASS-FSC, revision 1RXS). The RASS-BSC is derived from the all-sky survey performed during the first half year of the ROSAT mission in 1990/91. 18,811 sources are catalogued, with a limiting ROSAT PSPC countrate of 0.05 cts/s in the 0.1-2.4 keV energy band. The sources have a detection likelihood of at least 15 and contain at least 15 source photons. At a brightness limit of 0.1 cts/s (8,547 sources) the catalogue represents a sky coverage of 92%. The typical positional accuracy is 30 arcsec. The RASS-FSC is derived from the all-sky survey performed during the ROSAT mission in the energy band 0.1- 2.4 keV. 105,924 sources are catalogued and represent the faint extension to the RASS bright source catalogue. The sources have a detection likelihood of at least 7 and contain at least 6 source photons. (The likelihood of source detection is defined as L =-ln (1-P) , with P = probability of source detection).
