hsoy, "Hot stuff for one year", is a project to combine PPMXL, SuperCOSMOS, and
the Gaia DR1 source list to provide a catalog that gives nice and good
astrometry for the year until Gaia's second data release.
Sigfried Röser derived the equations to include this other position; this
is essentially algebra starting from eqs. 1 and 2 of the PPMXL paper.
The late development of this was a bit rough, and what's documented in
the RD doesn't quite match the catalog (e.g., some ra<0 were fixed
manually). If you need to re-import this, start from the dump.
In other words: Don't use the data items in here any more.
Informationally, here's what the provenance looked like until svn rev.
6098, when importing was switched to using the dump:
Usually dropped helper table
A table containing PPMXL positions and
proper motions, with those objects filtered out that
SuperCOSMOS didn't find with their source extraction. This
means that most spurious detections are removed.
Usually dropped helper table
raj2000, dej2000
q3c_ang2ipix(raj2000, dej2000)
A table with positions and proper motions
resulting from a combination of ppmxl with gaia DR1.
Note that the column descriptions may not be accurate here.
Usually dropped helper table
During the construction of USNO-B, numerous observations
were not matched properly. As a result, at least 10% of USNO-B objects
are spurious. Most of these carried over into PPMXL. Since many
of these objects have completely errneous proper motions, much fewer
will be in HSOY. However, they are present, and they are characterised
by multiple PPMXL objects being matched to one Gaia object.
Since PPMXL's resolution is much worse than Gaia's, these will almost
always be spurious; also, since the Gaia position is fixed in
both solutions, their paths will cross fairly near to J2015.0.
