ASC Gaia Attitude Star Catalog

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The ASC is a compilation produced for the Gaia mission.

Description

We have combined data from the following catalogs or datasets to produce a homogenous list of positions, proper motions, photometry in a blue and red band and estimates of the magnitudes in the Gaia G and G_RVS bands: Tycho2, UCAC4, Hipparcos, PPMXL, GSC2.3 and Sky2000. Originally ASC sources were selected from the Initial Gaia Source List (IGSL, I/324).

However, here we produce a cleaner catalog starting from the bright source catalogs and using the following criteria: 1) The candidate must be in the Tycho2, UCAC4, Hipparcos or Sky2000 catalog. 2) The Gaia G magnitude must be brighter than 13.4. 3) The star must be isolated from other objects of similar magnitudes 4) The object must not be in the Washington Double Star catalog 5) If a healpix 6th region has more than 1000 objects the magnitude limit is reduced to reduce the number of objects in that region.

Since the ASC was produced independently from the IGSL using different procedures there is not a direct 1 to 1 match between ASC and IGSL entries. We have matched the ASC to the IGSL and found that 9 out of the 8 million entries do not have a clear match. Since there may still remain ambiguous matches in the 8 million matched objects, we decided to assign the sourceIDs of the IGSL with the adjustment that the runningnumber is equal to the IGSL runningnumber + 320000.

Included Catalogs: Tycho2, UCAC4, Sky2000, HIPPARCOS for candidates and the PPMXL, GSC2.3 were used to calculating magnitudes.
