TIC2 - Tycho-2 - Hipparcos Look-Up-Table ====================================================================== This file describes the format and contents of the look-up-table (LUT) that connects TIC2 with Tycho-2 and with Hipparcos. The original file has 11 columns (described below) and 3,332,391 rows (one header and 3,332,390 data lines). The file is a plain, ASCII CSV file with comma as field separator. Missing data is denoted by blanks. Note that sources exist, for instance IDkey = 28640 (TIC2ID = 2864) or IDkey = 28650 (TIC2ID = 2865), that seemingly have no information, except that these sources have Tycho counts available. Note also that some records refer to the same target, e.g., TYC2 9504-366-1 and 9504-366-2 (IDkey = 3021 and 3022) both refer to TIC2ID 302. During ingestion on the TAP server, the fields TIC2 and TYC have been added, leading to 13 columns. The columns denote: "IDkey" [integer]: a unique key composed of ten times the TIC2ID (see below) plus zero if no Tycho-2 star was derived; plus one for the first Tycho-2 star derived; and plus two for the second Tycho-2 star. Each Tycho-2 star will have its own record. "TIC2" [string]: TIC2_1-3 (TIC2 number). "TIC2ID" [integer]: the running number [1,4351323] in the Second Tycho Input Catalogue (TIC2). Only the 3,325,148 targets for which sorted counts are preserved, are included. "TIC2_1" [integer]: region number [1,9537] if the target is from TYC or GSC, else blank. "TIC2_2" [integer]: running number in region [1,12119] if the target is from TYC or GSC, else blank. "TIC2_3" [integer]: component number [0,2] if the target is from TYC or GSC, else blank. "TYC" [string]: TYC1-3 (TYC number). "TYC1" [integer]: region number [1,9537] from the Tycho-2 Catalogue for the star derived from this target. TYC1 will coincide with TIC2_1 if TIC2_1 is present. "TYC2" [integer]: running number in region [1,12121] from the Tycho-2 Catalogue. TYC2 will differ from TIC2_2 in a few cases. "TYC3" [integer]: component number [1,3] from the Tycho-2 Catalogue. TYC3 will often differ from TIC2_3. "HIP" [integer]: The Hipparcos Catalogue identifier [1,120404] according to the Tycho-2 Catalogue. Hipparcos stars that did not make it to Tycho-2 will be present in this table but not identified as such. "CCDM" [string]: The component identifier from the Hipparcos Catalogue according to the Tycho-2 Catalogue. "Tyc2_srcs" [integer]: number of Tycho-2 stars derived from this target. ======================================================================
