Photometry catalogs¶
Speedyfit can automatically obtain photometry from several large online databases, using both Vizier and TAP queries. It will use simbad to find the coordinates for your system, and will do a search based on those coordinates. The included catalogs are given below:
GALEX GR6+7 (UV)¶
Revised catalog of GALEX UV sources: https://galex.stsci.edu/GR6/ Both GALEX DR5 and the revised GALEX DR6-7 are queried. Included photometric bands are:
- GALEX.FUV
- GALEX.NUV
This catalog is queried through Vizier: II/312/ais (DR5), II/335/galex_ais (DR6-7)

Gaia EDR3 (Optical)¶
The early third data release of the Gaia Spacecraft: https://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/ Included photometric bands are:
- GAIA3E.G
- GAIA3E.BP
- GAIA3E.RP
This catalog is queried through Vizier: I/350/gaiaedr3
Cite as: Gaia collaboration et al. 2020, A&A
Gaia DR2 (Optical)¶
The second data release of the Gaia Spacecraft: https://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/ Included photometric bands are:
- GAIA2.G
- GAIA2.BP
- GAIA2.RP
This catalog is queried through Vizier: I/345/gaia2

Skymapper DR1 (Optical)¶
The first public data release of the Skymapper survey: http://skymapper.anu.edu.au/ Included photometric bands are:
- SKYMAPPER.U
- SKYMAPPER.V
- SKYMAPPER.G
- SKYMAPPER.R
- SKYMAPPER.I
- SKYMAPPER.Z
This catalog is queried through TAP at: http://api.skymapper.nci.org.au/public/tap/

APASS (Optical)¶
The 9th data release of The AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey: https://www.aavso.org/apass. The APASS survey is valid from roughly 7th to 17th magnitude. Included photometric bands are:
- JOHNSON.B
- JOHNSON.V
- SLOAN.U (only available for very few stars)
- SLOAN.G
- SLOAN.R
- SLOAN.I
- SLOAN.Z
Even though these bands are supposed to be Johnson and Sloan, they differ slightly from the standard bands, and speedyfit uses specific APASS passbands.
This catalog is queried through Vizier: II/336/apass9

Note
The 10th datarelease of APASS is public, but can not be automatically queried. You can include this data by hand by obtaining it from: https://www.aavso.org/apass-dr10-download
SDSS (Optical)¶
The 9th data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: http://www.sdss3.org/dr9/. Included photometric bands are:
- SDSS.U
- SDSS.G
- SDSS.R
- SDSS.I
- SDSS.Z
This catalog is queried through Vizier: V/139/sdss9

Stroemgren-Crawford (Optical)¶
This is the new catalogue of Strömgren-Crawford uvbyβ photometry created by Paunzen, E. by combining Stromgren photometry from all existing catalogs. Included photometric bands are:
- STROMGREN.Y
- STROMGREN.B-Y
- STROMGREN.M1
- STROMGREN.C1
- STROMGREN.HBN-HBW (Limited availability)
These measurements are automatically converted to Stromgren u, v, b, y and beta.
This catalog is queried through Vizier: J/A+A/580/A23/catalog

Note
As this is a compilation catalog, you should reference the original catalog that contains the measurements for the system that you are studying.
2MASS (IR)¶
The Two Micron All Sky Survey: https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/Missions/2mass.html. Included photometric bands are:
- 2MASS.J (Magnitude limit = 15.8)
- 2MASS.H (Magnitude limit = 15.1)
- 2MASS.KS (Magnitude limit = 14.3)

WISE (IR)¶
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer: http://wise.ssl.berkeley.edu/. This is the ALLWISE version of the WISE catalog. It is a combination of the data from the original WISE mission, extended by the NEOWISE mission which continued observing in band W1 and W2 after W3 and W4 ran out of coolant. Included photometric bands are:
- WISE.W1
- WISE.W2
- WISE.W3
- WISE.W4
