Information on resource 'ppmxl/q'

To query this data, you can use

• a web form (mainly for cone searches)
• the equivalent SCS service using your favourite VO client (e.g., topcat)
• our web-based crossmatcher to retrieve PPMXL data (e.g., proper motions and photometry) for your object list
• web-based ADQL or, preferentially,
• TAP for more advanced queries.

You can retrieve also the whole data set as a gzipped text file from http://vo.ari.uni-heidelberg.de/ppmxl (39.4 GiB). The columns in the text file are in database order as documented in the table info in DB order with columns separated by vertical bars ("|").

David Tholen kindly provided code to convert this into a collection of files for easy consumption by FORTRAN programs.

Please report errors and problems to the site operators. Thanks.
