The Hubble Space Telescope UV Legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters - XVII. Public Catalogue Release

TL;DR

This paper releases comprehensive astro-photometric catalogues for 56 globular clusters and one open cluster, derived from HST data, including proper motions and membership probabilities, enhancing previous datasets for stellar population studies.

Contribution

It provides updated, publicly accessible catalogues with improved astrometry and photometry, including membership probabilities, replacing earlier versions and supporting future research.

Findings

Catalogues include 56 globular clusters and one open cluster.

Proper motion data with membership probabilities are provided.

Data is made publicly available in the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes.

Abstract

In this paper we present the astro-photometric catalogues of 56 globular clusters and one open cluster. Astrometry and photometry are mainly based on images collected within the "HST Legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters: Shedding UV Light on Their Populations and Formation" (GO-13297, PI:~Piotto), and the "ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters" (GO-10775, PI:~Sarajedini). For each source in the catalogues for which we have reliable proper motion we also publish a membership probability for separation of field and cluster stars. These new catalogues, which we make public in Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes, replace previous catalogues by Paper VIII of this series.
