UCAC3 public release options

� possible levels of product:

1) mean position and PM catalog (60 + million stars, all sky) include only if >= 2 detections + PM available

2) extract and identify minor planets -> separate cat.

3) individual epoch RA, Dec of all detections

4) individual x,y data of all detections (CTE problem)

5) pixel data images (very noisy, dark current ...)� include other catalogs for proper motions ?

goals of the URAT project� regular survey: 13 to 21 mag stars

� overlap with UCAC stars (8 to 16 mag)� direct link to faint, extragal. ref. frame sources� optimized for astrometry, absolute positions � lower systematic errors than PanSTARRs, LSST ...

� 5 - 20 mas positional accuracy = f (mag)� bright stars: 3 to 13 mag: astrograph or MAPS� all sky: 2 locations (north and south)� robotic: low operation costs� multiple overlap in 1 - 2 years per hemisphere
