2011-06-08 (MD): Silent update: 6169 objects copied from PPMX were affected by a PPMX
bug that computed Ru magnitudes although at least one 2MASS magnitude
was NULL. This resulted in large negative r1mags for these objects in
PPMXL. The erroneous magnitudes have been set to NULL.
Description
PPMXL is a catalog of positions, proper motions, 2MASS- and optical
photometry of 900 million stars and galaxies, aiming to be complete
down to about V=20 full-sky. It is the result of a re-reduction of
USNO-B1 together with 2MASS to the ICRS as represented by PPMX.
