This is a redacted version of the SDSS DR16 table prepared for VizieR
(V/154/sdss16). It is mainly here to facilitate local matches; for
original SDSS-related research, it is probably better to somewhere
else.
Over VizieR and SDSS, we are keeping most of the per-band values in
arrays to keep the column list manageable. Note that in ADQL, array
indexes are 1-based.
We are trying to orient our column names on SDSS but use underscores
instead of camel-casing (e.g. spec_obj_id instead of SpecObjID), since
mixed-case identifiers in SQL is asking for trouble.
To save space, we do not keep psf-based classifications, per-band
offsets, spectrum metadata, and USNO-related information in this
table. Let the operators know if you need any of that.

Description:
This catalog contains derived information and access to spectra for a
catalog of objects in the field of M31, drawn from the study of star
clusters, HII regions, PNe and individual stars in M31 done with
Hectospec on the MMT by Nelson Caldwell and a host of others.

Description:
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 Fifth Catalogue of Nearby Stars (CNS5) aims to provide the most
volume-complete sample of stars in the solar neighbourhood. The CNS5
is compiled based on trigonometric parallaxes from Gaia EDR3 and
Hipparcos, and supplemented with astrometric data from Spitzer and
ground-based surveys carried out in the infrared. The CNS5 catalogue
is statistically complete down to 19.7 mag in G-band and 11.8 mag in
W1-band absolute magnitudes, corresponding to a spectral type of L8.
Continuous updates of observational data for nearby stars from all
sources were collected and evaluated. For all known stars in the 25 pc
sphere around the Sun, the best values of positions in space,
velocities, and magnitudes in different filters are presented.
This is a clean and well characterised catalogue of objects within 100pc of
the Sun from the Gaia early third data release. We characterise the
catalogue using the full data release, and comparisons to other catalogues
in literature and simulations. For all candidates (measured parallax <
8 mas), we calculate a distance probability function using Bayesian
procedures and mock catalogues for the prediction of the priors. For each
entry using a random forest classifier we attempt to remove sources with
spurious astrometric solutions.
This results in 331312 objects that should contain at least 92% of stars
within 100 pc at spectral type M9.
GCNS comes with several auxiliary tables, in particular lists of
resolved stellar systems, of known neary stars not found in eDR3 and
of candidates of Hyades and ComaBer cluster members.
A catalogue of 541 nearby (within 10pc of the sun) stars, brown
dwarfs, and confirmed exoplanets in 336 systems, as well 21
candidates, compiled from SIMBAD and several other sources. Where
available, astrometry and photometry from Gaia eDR3 has been inserted.

Description:
The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) will provide a uniform survey of the entire sky at three near-infrared wavebands: J(lambdaeff = 1.25 micrometers), H(lambdaeff = 1.65 micrometers), and Ks(lambdaeff = 2.16 micrometers). A major goal of the survey is to probe large scale structures in the Milky Way and in the Local Universe, exploiting the relatively high transparency of the interstellar medium in the near-infrared, and the high near-infrared luminosities of evolved low- and intermediate-mass stars.Home page at http://pegasus.phast.umass.edu/
This DSA hosts data release 8 of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey housed at the Wide Field Astronomy Unit at the Univeristy of Edinburgh. In order to access this data you need to contact Mark Holliman at msh@roe.ac.uk to be added to the authorized users list. This catalog contains WFCAM data primarily originating from the five UKIDSS surveys: Large Area Survey, Galactic Plane Survey, Galactic Clusters Survey, Deep Extragalactic Survey and the Ultra Deep Survey (see the www.ukidss.org for survey descriptions)

Description:
XMM is the second comprehensive catalogue of serendipitous X-ray sources from the European Space Agency's (ESA) XMM-Newton observatory. The 2XMM catalogue is the largest X-ray source catalogue ever produced, containing almost twice as many discrete sources as either the ROSAT survey or pointed catalogues. 2XMM complements deeper Chandra and XMM-Newton small area surveys, probing a much larger sky area.
