ABSTRACT 9420149 HUMPHREYS, Roberta The Automated Plate Scanner (APS) of the University of Minnesota has been used to scan the glass duplicates of the first epoch Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS I) and create an on-line catalog, STARBASE, available to the public over the Internet. The database of hundreds of millions of stars and several million galaxies includes positions, magnitudes, colors, and object classification using a neural network technique. Another survey made at Palomar 20 years later is being scanned and measured for proper motions of every object possible in the POSS I database. Duplicates of the second epoch Palomar Sky Survey (POSS II) plates are to be obtained and measured. The resulting databases from the additional surveys will be made available over the Internet in a user-friendly form. The new databases will include some image information, as well.

摘要 9420149 Humphreys，Roberta 明尼苏达大学的自动底片扫描仪已被用来扫描第一个时期帕洛马天文台巡天的玻璃复制品，并制作了一个联机目录STARBASE，公众可通过因特网查阅。该数据库包含数亿颗恒星和数百万个星系，包括位置、星等、颜色和使用神经网络技术进行的物体分类。20年后在帕洛玛进行的另一项调查正在扫描和测量POSS I数据库中每一个可能物体的自行。将获得和测量第二纪元帕洛玛巡天（POSS II）底片的副本。将以方便用户的形式在因特网上提供额外调查的结果数据库。新的数据库也将包括一些图像信息。
