AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey (APASS), underway since 2010,
covers the entire sky from 7.5 < V < 16.5 magnitude, and in the BVugrizY
bandpasses. A northern and a southern site are used, each with twin ASA
20cm astrographs and Apogee Aspen CG16m cameras, covering 2.9x2.9 square
degrees with 2.6arcsec pixels. Landolt and SDSS standards are used for
all-sky solutions, with typical 0.02mag calibration errors on the bright
end.
Data Release 10 is a complete reprocessing of all 500K images taken with
the system, including hundreds of nights not part of DR9. Sextractor is
used for star finding and centroiding; DAOPHOT is used for aperture
photometry; the astrometry.net plate-solving library is used for basic
astrometry, supplanted with more precise WCS that utilizes knowledge of the
optical train distortions. With these changes, DR10 includes many more
stars than prior releases.

Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
This is a catalog of 5437 morphologically classified sources in the
direction of the Perseus galaxy cluster core, among them 496
early-type low-mass galaxy candidates. The catalog is primarily based
on V-band imaging data acquired with the William Herschel Telescope.
Additionally, we used archival Subaru multiband imaging data in order
to measure aperture colors and to perform a morphological
classification. The catalog reaches its 50 per cent completeness limit
at an absolute V-band luminosity of -12 mag and a V-band surface
brightness of 26 mag arcsec^-2 .
In addition to the published table, this service also contains cutout
images of the objects investigated.

Publisher:
KM3NeT
Description:
The ANTARES neutrino telescope aims for the identification of
neutrinos from cosmic accelerators. The good visibility towards the
Southern sky for neutrino energies below 100 TeV and the good angular
resolution for reconstructed events make the telescope excellent to
test for the presence of point-like sources, especially of Galactic
origin. The data set corresponds to the track sample (muon neutrino
candidates) of a study meant to search for a point sources with data
collected from January 2007 to December 2017 by the ANTARES neutrino
telescope.
The catalogue ARIHIP has been constructed by selecting the 'best
data' for a given star from combinations of HIPPARCOS data with Boss'
GC and/or the Tycho-2 catalogue as well as the FK6. It provides 'best
data' for 90 842 stars with a typical mean error of 0.89 mas/year
(about a factor of 1.3 better than Hipparcos for this sample of
stars).
Estimated distances to 1.33 billion stars in Gaia DR2
Short Name:

Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
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 release consists of event lists and instrument response functions
for observations of various well-known gamma-ray sources (the Crab
nebula, PKS 2155-304, MSH 15-52, RX J1713.7-3946) as well as
observations of empty fields for background modeling.
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.

energy values in equivalent 'Hz' frequency values.
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
Short Name:
XP ap-pars
Date:
19 Jun 2023 07:31:09
Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
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.

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.
From 1986 through 1991, the Astronomical Institute of Münster
University performed a search for flare stars in several southern
associations and open stellar clusters using the GPO telescope (d=40
cm, WFPDB identifier ESO040); the fields suveyed include Coalsack,
M42, B228 Lup, the Chameleon T1 association, omicron Vel cluster, R
CrA association, the Pipe nebula (B59 Oph), and the Sco-Oph
association. This was done primarily through multiple exposures. The
files published here are plate scans done in 2017.
The obscore collection name for these files is Muenster Flare Survey.
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.
Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Telescope Data Center
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.
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.
