Extracted sources from the Bochum Galactic Disk Survey. We provide
mean photometry in U, B, V, z, r, and i bands. Note that sources in
different bands are not matched. Also, sources sitting in the regions
imaged in multiple fields have not been matched even within one band.
In i and r, BGDS light curves are available. See related services for
details.
The Bochum Galactic Disk Survey is an ongoing project to monitor the
stellar content of the Galactic disk in a 6 degree wide stripe
centered on the Galactic plane. The data has been recorded since
mid-2010 in Sloan r and i simultaneously with the RoBoTT Telecsope at
the Universitaetssternwarte Bochum near Cerro Armazones in the Chilean
Atacama desert. It contains measurements of about 2x10^7 stars over
more than seven years. Additionally, intermittent measurements in
Johnson UVB and Sloan z have been recorded as well.
This service exposes the light curves of stars produced by the Bochum
Galactic Disk Survey; several million light curves are provided in the
SDSS i and r bands. The lightcurves are published per-band and are
also available through obscore.
Estimated distances to 1.33 billion stars in Gaia DR2

Description:
This catalogue provides distances estimates (and uncertainties therein)
for 1.33 billion stars over the whole sky brighter than about G=20.7.
These have been estimated using the parallaxes (and their uncertainties)
from Gaia DR2. A Bayesian procedure was used involving a prior
with a single parameter L(l,b), which varies smoothly with Galactic
longitude and latitude according to a Galaxy model. The posterior is
summarized with a point estimate (usually the mode) and a confidence
interval (usually the 68% highest density interval). The estimation
procedure is described in detail in the `accompanying paper`_,
which also analyses the catalogue content.

This service returns the most important Gaia DR3 gaia_source columns
together with robust geometric and photogeometric distances for the
~1.47 billion objects in Bailer-Jones et al's distance catalogue.
The RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) contains stellar atmospheric
parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, overall
metallicity), radial velocities, chemical abundances and distances.
Observations between 2003 and 2013 were used to build the five RAVE
data releases.
