Short Description: |
PPMXL is a catalog of positions, proper motions, 2MASS and optical photometry of 900 million stars and galaxies, aiming to be complete down to about V=20 full-sky. It is the result of a re-reduction of USNO-B1 together with 2MASS to the ICRS.

Science Products Generated: |
Catalog of astrometry, proper motions, and photometry of detected point sources from the USNO-B
and 2MASS catalogs.
