The Full Catalogue
(Note)
(526280881 rows)
USNO-A2.0
contains 526,280,881 sources, and is based on a re-reduction of the Precision Measuring Machine (PMM) scans from POSS-I
O
and
E
plates (>=-18°) and SRC-
J
and ESO-
R
plates (<=-20°). USNO-A2.0 was created by Dave Monet () and collaborators at
Flagstaff Station, U.S. Naval Observatory
.
The major difference between USNO-A2.0 and its previous version
USNO-A1.0
is that A1.0 used the
Guide Star Catalog
as its reference frame whereas A2.0 uses the ICRF as realized by the
USNO ACT catalog
(Urban et al. 1997). The VizieR search engine uses an
on-line compressed version
(3.6Gbytes) which was generated at CDS.
