Description:
The LSPM catalog is a comprehensive list of 61,977 stars north of the J2000 celestial equator that have proper motions larger than 0.15"/yr (local-background-stars frame). Positions are given with an accuracy of <~100 mas at the 2000.0 epoch, and absolute proper motions are given with an accuracy of ~8 mas/yr. The catalog is estimated to be over 99% complete at high Galactic latitudes (|b|>15{deg}) and over 90% complete at low Galactic latitudes (|b|>15{deg}), down to a magnitude.

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/
613. The Magellanic Bridge Catalogue of Stars - MBCS
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/551/A78
Title:
The Magellanic Bridge Catalogue of Stars - MBCS
Short Name:
J/A+A/551/A78
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Magellanic system comprises the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), and the less frequently observed Magellanic Bridge and Magellanic Stream. The Bridge is traced by neutral gas and has an observed stellar component, while the Stream consists of gas only, with no observed stellar counterpart to date. This study uses catalogues created in the direction of the Bridge from 2MASS and WISE to investigate the stellar content of the Magellanic Bridge.
614. The Magellanic Catalogue of Stars - MACS

Title:
The Magellanic Catalogue of Stars - MACS
Short Name:
I/221
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Magellanic Catalogue of Stars (MACS) is based on scans of ESO Schmidt plates and contains about 244,000 stars covering large areas around the LMC and the SMC. The limiting magnitude is B<16.5m and the positional accuracy is better than 0.5" for 99% of the stars. The stars of this catalogue were screened interactively to ascertain that they are undisturbed by close neighbours.

616. The MOA-II eclipsing binary catalogue

Title:
The MOA-II eclipsing binary catalogue
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/470/539
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the first catalogue of eclipsing binaries in two MOA (Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics) fields towards the Galactic bulge, GB9 and GB10, in which over 8000 candidates, mostly contact and semidetached binaries of periods <1d, were identified. In this paper, the light curves of a small number of interesting candidates, including eccentric binaries, binaries with noteworthy phase modulations and eclipsing RS Canum Venaticorum type stars, are shown as examples. In addition, we identified three triple object candidates by detecting the light-travel-time effect in their eclipse time variation curves.
617. The N70E catalogue
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/I/241
Title:
The N70E catalogue
Short Name:
I/241
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The N70E catalogue provides improved mean positions and proper motions for the 718 Basic fundamental stars from the FK5 catalogue in the equatorial zone covering the declination range from -30 to +30 degrees. The catalogue is resulted from revision of the FK5 system on the basis of 36 modern absolute and quasi-absolute catalogues and the four fundamental catalogues FK3, FK4, GC, N30, and revision of FK5 individual positions and proper motions by use of 52 catalogues distributed at the time span from 1900 to 1993. Absolute orientation in space of N70E catalogue is defined by the IAU (1976) system of astronomical constants. Only the machine-readable version of the N70E catalogue is distributed. It contains the positions and proper motions of the stars for the epoch and equinox J2000.0, the mean epochs of individual observed right ascensions and declinations used to determine the final positions, and the mean errors of the final positions and proper motions for the reported epochs.
618. The orbit of S2 star around Sgr A*

Title:
The orbit of S2 star around Sgr A*
Short Name:
J/ApJ/707/L114
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Two recent papers (Ghez et al. 2008ApJ...689.1044G; Gillessen et al. 2009ApJ...692.1075G) have estimated the mass of and the distance to the massive black hole (MBH) in the center of the Milky Way using stellar orbits. The two astrometric data sets are independent and yielded consistent results, even though the measured positions do not match when simply overplotting the two sets. In this Letter, we show that the two sets can be brought to excellent agreement with each other when we allow for a small offset in the definition of the reference frame of the two data sets. The required offsets in the coordinates and velocities of the origin of the reference frames are consistent with the uncertainties given in Ghez et al. The so-combined data set allows for a moderate improvement of the statistical errors of the mass of and the distance to Sgr A*, but the overall accuracies of these numbers are dominated by systematic errors and the long-term calibration of the reference frame.
619. The Pan-STARRS release 1 (PS1) Survey - DR1
ID:

Title:
The Pan-STARRS release 1 (PS1) Survey - DR1
Short Name:
II/349
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) is a system for wide-field astronomical imaging developed and operated by the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii. Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) is the first part of Pan-STARRS to be completed and is the basis for Data Release 1 (DR1). The PS1 survey used a 1.8m telescope and its 1.4 Gigapixel camera (GPC1) to image the sky in five broadband filters (g, r, i, z, y). PS1 took approximately 370000 exposures from 2010 to 2015. The PS1 camera surveyed the sky using 5 filters: g, r, i, z, and y. The effective wavelengths (and spectral resolutions) of these 5 filters are 481nm (R=3.5), 617nm (R=4.4), 752nm (R=5.8), 866nm (R=8.3), and 962nm (R=11.6), respectively. Please refer to Table 4 in Tonry+ (2012, J/ApJ/750/99) for bandpass details. Schlafly+ (2012ApJ...756..158S) provides updated zeropoints in Table 1. Data for this catalog has been retrieved from STScI and was built from ObjectThin and StackObjectThin tables with nDetections>2.
620. The PPMXL Catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/I/317
Title:
The PPMXL Catalog
Short Name:
I/317
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
USNO-B1.0 (Cat. I/284) and 2MASS (Cat. II/246) are the most widely used full-sky surveys. However, 2MASS has no proper motions at all, and USNO-B1.0 published only relative, not absolute (i.e. on ICRS) proper motions. We performed a new determination of mean positions and proper motions on the ICRS system by combining USNO-B1.0 and 2MASS astrometry. This catalog is called PPMXL, and it aims to be complete from the brightest stars down to about V=20 full-sky. PPMXL contains about 900 million objects, some 410 million with 2MASS photometry, and is the largest collection of ICRS proper motions at present. As representative for the ICRS we chose PPMX. The recently released UCAC3 (Cat. I/315) could not be used because we found plate-dependent distortions in its proper motion system north of -20{deg} declination. UCAC3 served as an intermediate system for {demta}<-20{deg}. The resulting typical individual mean errors of the proper motions range from 4mas/yr to more than 10mas/yr depending on observational history. The mean errors of positions at epoch 2000.0 are 80 to 120 mas, if 2MASS astrometry could be used, 150 to 300 mas else. We also give correction tables to convert USNO-B1.0 observations of e.g. minor planets to the ICRS system.
