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.

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 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.

The LOFAR Two Meter Sky Survey LoTSS DR2
(:bibcode:`2022A&A...659A...1S`) obtained radio data from 27% of the
northern sky between 120 and 168 MHz in the year 2014 through 2020. This
service publishes polarization spectra of extragalactic radio sources
(radio galaxies and blazars) and the rotation measures derived from them.
We also give redshifts for all sources. The data has a spatial resolution
of 20 arcsec.

The MAGIC project observes the VHE sky (GeV~TeV) through Cherenkov
radiation events. The project is operating since 2004 and with the
support from the Spain-VO team they provide data access through a
VO-SSAP and web services. This service re-publishes the data with
homogeneized in flux units (given here in 'erg/(s.cm2)'). Photon
energy values in are transfomred to frequencies.
