MWSC presents a list of 3006 Milky Way Stellar Clusters (MWSC), found
in the 2MAst (2MASS with Astrometry) catalogue. The target list was
compiled on the basis of present-day lists of open, globular and
candidate clusters. For confirmed clusters we determined a homogeneous
set of astrophysical parameters such as membership, angular radii of
the main morphological parts, mean cluster proper motions, distances,
reddenings, ages, tidal parameters, and sometimes radial velocities.
MWSC-e14a ("MWSC extension 2014a") is a catalogue of
139 new open clusters at high Galactic latitudes
(\|b\|>20 deg) including lists of candidate members. It extends the
Kharchenko et al. 'Catalog of Milky Way Star Clusters'.
The target list was compiled as density enhancements found in the 2MASS
point source catalogue. For confirmed clusters we determined a homogeneous
set of astrophysical parameters such as membership, angular radii of the
main morphological parts, proper motion, distance, reddening, age, and
tidal parameters.

This collection is comprised of spectra from many different
researchers, observatories and instrumental configurations. Most of
them were used in publications (bibcode indicated at column "Ref.").
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.
An optical polarimetric catalog for the Small Magelanic Cloud (SMC)
is presented. It gives intrinsic and observed polarizations in the
V-band for a total of 7207 stars located in the Northeast and Wing
sections of the SMC and part of the Magellanic Bridge.
These spectra are optical follow-up observations of the
X-ray sources detected in the 942 ks exposure of the
Chandra Deep Field-South (CDFS) using FORS.
