(Ref) Object type as listed in the reference "Ref"
(acronym) Object type linked to the acronym according to the original reference
() Anterior to 2007, before we can link the objet type to a reference, or given by the CDS team in some particular cases
Syntax of coordinates is : "ra dec (wtype) [error ellipse] quality bibcode" :
ra dec : right ascension and declination (unit and frame defined according to your Output Options)
Grey values are increasing the original precision due to the computation of frame transformations
(wtype) : wavelength class for the origin of the coordinates (Rad, mm, IR, Optical, UV, Xray, Gam)
[error ellipse] : measurement uncertainty, on (ra,dec) if the positional angle is 90 degrees, on (majaxis,minaxis) otherwise (in mas at defined epoch in the original catalogue),
position angle (in degrees North celestial pole to East)
quality : flag of quality
E ≥ 10"
D : 1-10" (and some old data)
C : 0.1-1''; as well as Tycho2, UCAC4, and Gaia DR2/3 without proper motions
B : 0.01-0.1''; as well as Tycho2 and UCAC4 with proper motions
A : Hipparcos and Gaia DR2/3 with proper motions; sometimes VLBI

Syntax of proper motions is : "pm-ra pm-dec [error ellipse] quality bibcode"
pm-ra : mu-ra*cos(dec) (expressed in the ICRS system in mas/yr)
pm-dec : mu-dec (expressed in the ICRS system in mas/yr)
[error ellipse] : error major axis and minor axis (in mas), orientation angle (in deg)
quality : flag of quality (A=best quality →E=worst quality, ∼ =unknown quality)
Syntax of radial velocity (or/and redshift) is : "value [error] (wavelength) quality bibcode"
value : radial velocity or/and redshift (Heliocentric frame) according to your Output Options
(redshift may be not displayed if the data value is <0 and the database inside value is a radial velocity)
[error] : error of the corresponding value displayed before
(wavelength) : wavelength range of the measurement : Rad, mm, IR, Opt, UV, Xray, Gam or '∼'(unknown)
quality : flag of quality ( A=best quality →E=worst quality, ∼ =unknown quality)
