Title:: LIFE Target Database Cone Search
Short Name:: life_td cone
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:05
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: The LIFE Target Star Database contains information useful for the planned `LIFE mission`_ (mid-ir, nulling interferometer in space). It characterizes possible target systems including information about stellar, planetary and disk properties. The data itself is mainly a collection from different other catalogs. Note that LIFE's target database is living data. The content – and to some extent even structure – of these tables may change at any time without prior warning. .. _LIFE mission: https://life-space-mission.com/

Title:: The Fifth Catalogue of Nearby Stars (CNS5)
Short Name:: CNS5
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:04
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: 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.

Title:: The Gaia-PS1-SDSS (GPS1) Proper Motion Catalog
Short Name:: GPS1
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:00
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: This catalog combines Gaia DR1, Pan-STARRS 1, SDSS and 2MASS astrometry to compute proper motions for 350 million sources across three-fourths of the sky down to a magnitude of mr≈20. Positions of galaxies from Pan-STARRS 1 are used to build a reference frame for PS1, SDSS, and 2MASS data. Gaia DR1 is adapted to that reference frame by exploiting that locally, proper motions are linear. GPS1 has a characteristic systematic error of less than 0.3 mas/yr, and a typical precision of 1.5−2.0 mas/yr. The proper motions have been validated using galaxies, open clusters, distant giant stars and QSOs. In comparison with other published faint proper motion catalogs, GPS1's systematic error (<0.3 mas/yr) is about 10 times better than that of PPMXL and UCAC4 (>2.0 mas/yr). Similarly, its precision (~1.5 mas/yr) is an improvement by ∼ 4 times relative to PPMXL and UCAC4 (∼6.0 mas/yr). For QSOs, the precision of GPS1 is found to be worse (∼2.0−3.0 mas/yr), possibly due to their particular differential chromatic refraction (DCR).

Title:: The HSOY Catalog
Short Name:: HSOY SCS
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:06
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: HSOY is a catalog of 583'001'653 objects with precise astrometry based on PPMXL and Gaia DR1. Typical formal errors at mean epoch in proper motion are below 1 mas/yr for objects brighter than 10 mag, and about 5 mas/yr at the faint end (about 20 mag). South of -30 degrees, astrometry is significantly worse. HSOY also contains, where available, USNO-B, Gaia, and 2MASS photometry. HSOY's positions and proper motions are given for epoch J2000. The catalog becomes severely incomplete faintwards of 16 mag in the G-band. The mean epochs are typically very close to Gaia's J2015. HSOY still contains about 0.7% spurious close "binaries" (non-matched stars) from the original USNO-B (marked with non-NULL clone). Also, failed matches within Gaia DR1 contribute another 1.5% spurious pairs (marked with non-NULL comp). In both cases, astrometry presumably is sub-standard.
