The catalog of star positions and B-magnitudes for the circumpolar region (from 58º to 90º in declination) of Northern Sky Survey project has been created under the motto of the rational use of resources accumulated in UkrVO JDA (Joint Digital Archive) in MAO NASU. The total amount of processed plates is 477. Digitizing of astronegatives has been carried out using Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL TMA and Epson Expression 10000XL scanners, with the scanning mode-1200 dpi, the linear size of the plates-30x30 cm or 13000x13000 px. The catalog contains 1 975 967 stars and galaxies with B ≤ 16.5 m for the epoch of 1985.28. The coordinates of stars and galaxies were obtained in the Tycho-2 reference system, and Bvalue in the system of photoelectric standards. The internal accuracy of the catalog for all the objects is σ αδ = ± 0.23 "and σ B = ± 0.12 m (for stars in the range of B = 8 m-14 m errors are σ αδ = ± 0.11" and σ B = ± 0.06 m). Convergence between the calculated and reference positions is σ αδ = ± 0.06 "(for 171 124 stars from Tycho-2), and the convergence with photoelectric stellar B-magnitudes is σ B = ± 0.15 m (for 5130 stars). External accuracy from the comparison with UCAC-4 is σ αδ = ± 0.33 "(1 928 367 stars and galaxies were cross identified).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
