COMPILATION OF CATALOG OF STELLAR EQUATORIAL COORDINATES AND B-MAGNITUDES USING UKRVO PLATE DATABASE
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2014, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
To ensure the rational use of informational resources generated by UkrVO in MAO NASU, a catalog of equatorial coordinates (α, δ) and B-magnitudes of stars was created by using plates obtained during observational campaign named FON (ukr., Photographic Sky Survey). 102 plates with field of view of 8° were processed. Digitization of plates with sizes of (30x30) cm or (13000x13000) px was performed by using resolution of 1200 dpi. The catalog contains astrometric data for 1, 263, 932 stars and galaxies with B ≤ 16.5m at epoch 1984.76. The coordinates and B magnitudes were respectively obtained in the system of TYCHO-2 catalogue and photoelectric standards. The internal accuracy of the catalog: for all objects is ±0.26" for coordinates and ± 0.17m for magnitudes, and for stars in the range B = 8m -13m is ± 0.13" and ± 0.11m. Convergence of coordinate with reference TYCHO-2 system is ±0.06" (for 93 925 stars), the convergence with the photoelectric stellar B-magnitudes is ±0.16m (for 4458 stars). Errors relative to the UCAC-4 catalog are ±0.34". We identified 1099005 stars and galaxies.

ASTEROIDS SEARCH RESULTS IN LARGE PHOTOGRAPHIC SKY SURVEYS
Photographic observations of XX century contained numerous and varied information about all objects and events of the Universe fixed on plates. The original and interesting observations of small bodies of the So...
ASPECTS OF STRING PHENOMENOLOGY IN PARTICLE PHYSICS AND COSMOLOGY
We discuss possible connections between several scales in particle physics and cosmology, such the the electroweak, inflation, dark energy and Planck scales. We then describe the phenomenology of a model of supersymmetry...
UKRAINIAN DATABASE AND ATLAS OF LIGHT CURVES OF ARTIFICIAL SPACE OBJECTS
This paper describes the Ukrainian database of long-term photometric observations of resident space objects (RSO). For the purpose of using this database for the outer space monitoring and space...
CHROMOSPHERIC ACTIVITY OF THE FLARE STAR YZ CMI IN QUIESCENCE ACCORDING TO THE FAST SPECTRAL MONITORING DATA
Spectral monitoring of the flare star YZ CMi (U = 12.9, B = 12.7, V = 11.1) was carried out on the Zeiss-600 telescope at the Peak Terskol Observatory. We used a low resolution grating spectrograph with spectral resoluti...
CATALOGUE OF COORDINATES AND B-MAGNITUDES IN - 20є – +2є ZONE BASED ON THE ULUGH BEG ASTRONOMICAL INSTITUTE PART OF THE FON PROJECT
Catalogue of 13.4 million stars down to 17.5m was obtained in 2017 by using plates from the Kitab Observatory of Ulugh Beg Astronomical Institute (UBAI) of the Uzbek Academy of Sciences. Kitab's part of Photographic Sky...
