The scientific origin of the star positions, magnitudes and colour indices in the sky-view catalogue: every entry in the New Reduction of the Hipparcos Catalogue, cross-referenced against a broad set of other catalogues (Bayer/Flamsteed/variable-star identifiers, radial velocities, spectral types). Published as VizieR catalogue V/137D, whose data are free for scientific use with citation (https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.html). This site does not fetch V/137D directly; it uses ofrohn-d3-celestial (see that source), which converts XHIP into a compact GeoJSON star list under its own BSD-3-Clause licence. Citation verified against ADS bibcode 2012AstL...38..331A and the Semantic Scholar record for the DOI above, both matching the arXiv preprint 1108.4971.

What it is cited for
Where an entry recorded why it leaned on this work, the reason is repeated here. A source cited well outside its own scope is visible in this list before it is visible anywhere else.
