A note on the catalogues provided in Iteration 4:

catalogue Rows Columns Format Notes
1XMM (first XMM-Newton) 56,711 379 FITS binary table cgp has utility to convert to CSV
FIRST object catalogues 811117 15 IoA has file suitable for MySQL should be ok for Postgres
INT WFS object catalogues 71,638,904 28 Binary FITS tables Will be concatenated into one table
2MASS 177,757,299 61 compressed CSV Northern Hemisphere only designed to ingest into Postgres/Mysql
USNOB-1 408,567,041 51 binary strips Northern Hemisphere only cgp has utility to convert to CSV

Below is a listing of the tables stored on hydra in Postgres at the start of Iteration 6. The same set of tables is also stored on cass123.

Note that the execution times given above were for hydra; times for cass123 are slower, sometimes up to four times slower.

The units of RA and DECL are degrees in every case (as may be seen from the ranges). For twomass and usnob only the northern hemisphere was loaded (because of shortage of disc space). The units of the other columns may be found from inspection of the corresponding tables held in Vizier, except for intwfs, which is described here: http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~wfcsur/index.php
