- Description:
- UCAC4 is a compiled, all-sky star catalog covering mainly the 8 to 16 magnitude range in a single bandpass between V and R. Positional errors are about 15 to 20 mas for stars in the 10 to 14 mag range. Proper motions have been derived for most of the about 113 million stars utilizing about 140 other star catalogs with significant epoch difference to the UCAC CCD observations. These data are supplemented by 2MASS photometric data for about 110 million stars and 5-band (B,V,g,r,i) photometry from the APASS (AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey) for over 50 million stars. UCAC4 also contains error estimates and various flags. All bright stars not observed with the astrograph have been added to UCAC4 from a set of Hipparcos and Tycho-2 stars. Thus UCAC4 should be complete from the brightest stars to about R=16, with the source of data indicated in flags.

- Description:
- Funded by NASA as part of its Origins program, FUSE was developed in collaboration with the space agencies of Canada and France, and is being operated for NASA by the Johns Hopkins University. FUSE was launched into orbit aboard a Delta II rocket on June 24, 1999 for at least three years of operations. FUSE (Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer) provides spectra in the far ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (range 905-1180 Angstroems, or 90.5-118nm) with a high resolution of about 20000 (one point each 5pm).

- Description:
- An increasing number of high-resolution stellar spectra is available today thanks to many past and ongoing spectroscopic surveys. Consequently, numerous methods have been developed to perform an automatic spectral analysis on a massive amount of data. When reviewing published results, biases arise and they need to be addressed and minimized. We are providing a homogeneous library with a common set of calibration stars (known as the Gaia FGK benchmark stars) that will allow us to assess stellar analysis methods and calibrate spectroscopic surveys. High-resolution and signal-to-noise spectra were compiled from different instruments. We developed an automatic process to homogenize the observed data and assess the quality of the resulting library.

- The Gaia eDR3 Catalogue of Nearby Stars GCNS
- Date:

- Publisher:
- The GAVO DC team
- Description:
- 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.

- Short Name:
- GPS1
- Date:

- Publisher:
- The GAVO DC team
- Description:
- This catalog combines Gaia DR1, Pan-STARRS 1, SDSS and 2MASS astrometry to compute proper motions for 350 million sources across three-fourths of the sky down to a magnitude of mr≈20. Positions of galaxies from Pan-STARRS 1 are used to build a reference frame for PS1, SDSS, and 2MASS data. Gaia DR1 is adapted to that reference frame by exploiting that locally, proper motions are linear. GPS1 has a characteristic systematic error of less than 0.3 mas/yr, and a typical precision of 1.5−2.0 mas/yr. The proper motions have been validated using galaxies, open clusters, distant giant stars and QSOs. In comparison with other published faint proper motion catalogs, GPS1's systematic error (<0.3 mas/yr) is about 10 times better than that of PPMXL and UCAC4 (>2.0 mas/yr). Similarly, its precision (~1.5 mas/yr) is an improvement by ∼ 4 times relative to PPMXL and UCAC4 (∼6.0 mas/yr). For QSOs, the precision of GPS1 is found to be worse (∼2.0−3.0 mas/yr), possibly due to their particular differential chromatic refraction (DCR).

- The Gaia view of the Cepheus flare
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a new census of candidate pre-main-sequence stars in the Cepheus flare star-forming region, based on Gaia EDR3 parallaxes, proper motions, and colour-magnitude diagrams. We identified new candidate members of the previously known young stellar groups associated with NGC 7023, L1177, L1217/L1219, L1228, L1235, and L1251. We studied the 3D structure of the star-forming complex and the distribution of tangential velocities of the young stars. The young stellar groups are located between 330 and 368pc from the Sun, divided into three kinematic subgroups, and have ages between 1 and 5 million yr. The results confirm the scenario of propagating star formation, suggested by previous studies. In addition to the bulk pre-main-sequence star population between 330 and 370pc, there is a scattered and more evolved pre-main-sequence population around 150-180pc. We found new candidate members of the nearby Cepheus Association, and identified a new moving group of 46, 15-20 million yr old pre-main-sequence stars located at a distance of 178pc, around the A0-type star HD 190833. A few pre-main-sequence stars are located at 800-900 pc, indicative of star-forming regions associated with the Galactic local arm above the Galactic latitude of +10{deg}.

- The Gaia-WISE extragalactic astrometric catalog
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- The Gaia mission has detected a large number of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and galaxies, but these objects must be identified among the thousandfold more numerous stars. Extant astrometric AGN catalogs do not have the uniform sky coverage required to detect and characterize the all-sky, low-multipole proper motion signals produced by the barycenter motion, gravitational waves, and cosmological effects. To remedy this, we present an all-sky sample of 567,721 AGNs in Gaia Data Release 1, selected using WISE two-color criteria. The catalog has fairly uniform sky coverage beyond the Galactic plane, with a mean density of 12.8 AGNs per square degree. The objects have magnitudes ranging from G=8.8 down to Gaia's magnitude limit, G=20.7. The catalog is approximately 50% complete but suffers from low stellar contamination, roughly 0.2%. We predict that the end-of-mission Gaia proper motions for this catalog will enable detection of the secular aberration drift to high significance (23{sigma}) and will place an upper limit on the anisotropy of the Hubble expansion of about 2%.

- The Galactic Bulge Survey: X-ray observations
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/194/18
- Date:

- Description:
- We introduce the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS) and we provide the Chandra source list for the region that has been observed to date. Among the goals of the GBS are constraining the neutron star (NS) equation of state and the black hole (BH) mass distribution via the identification of eclipsing NS and BH low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). The GBS targets two strips of 6{deg}x1{deg} (12deg^2^ in total), one above (1{deg}<b<2{deg}) and one below (-2{deg}<b<-1{deg}) the Galactic plane in the direction of the Galactic center at both X-ray and optical wavelengths. By avoiding the Galactic plane (-1{deg}<b<1{deg}) we limit the influence of extinction on the X-ray and optical emission but still sample relatively large number densities of sources. The survey is designed such that a large fraction of the X-ray sources can be identified from their optical spectra. The X-ray survey, by design, covers a large area on the sky while the depth is shallow using 2ks per Chandra pointing. In this way we maximize the predicted number ratio of (quiescent) LMXBs to cataclysmic variables. The survey is approximately homogeneous in depth to a 0.5-10keV flux of 7.7x10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s. So far, we have covered about two-thirds (8.3deg^2^) of the projected survey area with Chandra providing over 1200 unique X-ray sources. We discuss the characteristics and the variability of the brightest of these sources.
