I/284) and 2MASS (Cat. II/246) are the most widely used full-sky surveys. However, 2MASS has no proper motions at all, and USNO-B1.0 published only relative, not absolute (i.e. on ICRS) proper motions. We performed a new determination of mean positions and proper motions on the ICRS system by combining USNO-B1.0 and 2MASS astrometry. This catalog is called PPMXL, and it aims to be complete from the brightest stars down to about V=20 full-sky. PPMXL contains about 900 million objects, some 410 million with 2MASS photometry, and is the largest collection of ICRS proper motions at present. As representative for the ICRS we chose PPMX. The recently released UCAC3 (Cat. I/315) could not be used because we found plate-dependent distortions in its proper motion system north of -20{deg} declination. UCAC3 served as an intermediate system for {demta}&lt;-20{deg}. The resulting typical individual mean errors of the proper motions range from 4mas/yr to more than 10mas/yr depending on observational history. The mean errors of positions at epoch 2000.0 are 80 to 120 mas, if 2MASS astrometry could be used, 150 to 300 mas else. We also give correction tables to convert USNO-B1.0 observations of e.g. minor planets to the ICRS system.</description><source format="bibcode">2010AJ....139.2440R</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/I/317</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/I/312">I/312 : PPMX Catalog of positions and proper motions (Roeser+ 2008)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/I/284">I/284 : The USNO-B1.0 Catalog (Monet+ 2003)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/II/246">II/246 : 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri+ 2003)</relatedResource><relatedResource>http://vo.uni-hd.de/ppmxl : VO-access to the catalog</relatedResource></relationship></content><rights>https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.html</rights><capability><interface xsi:type="vr:WebBrowser"><accessURL use="full">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=I/317</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=I/317</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=I/317</mirrorURL></interface></capability><capability><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=I/317</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=I/317</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=I/317</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface></capability><capability standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP#aux"><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tap</accessURL></interface></capability><capability xsi:type="cs:ConeSearch" standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/ConeSearch"><description>Cone search capability for table I/317/sample (Example of formatted output)</description><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/I/317/sample?</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/I/317/sample?</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/I/317/sample?</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface><maxSR>180.0</maxSR><maxRecords>50000</maxRecords><verbosity>true</verbosity><testQuery><ra>44.996056</ra><dec>0.00561</dec><sr>0.005555555555555556</sr></testQuery></capability><capability standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/hips#hips-1.0"><description>Hips catalogue for table I/317/sample</description><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://hipscat.cds.unistra.fr/HiPSCatService/I/317/sample</accessURL></interface></capability><coverage><spatial>0/0-11 6/</spatial><spectral>8.650015785639275e-20 1.7003137259100215e-19</spectral><footprint ivo-id="ivo://ivoa.net/std/moc">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/I/317?format=ascii</footprint><waveband>Optical</waveband><waveband>Infrared</waveband></coverage><tableset><schema><name>default</name><table><name>I/317/sample</name><description>Example of formatted output</description><column><name>epDE</name><description>Mean Epoch (Dec)</description><unit>yr</unit><ucd>time.epoch</ucd><dataType xsi:type="vs:VOTableType">float</dataType></column><column><name>Smags</name><description>[0-8 -] Surveys used for USNO-B magnitudes (2)</description><ucd>meta.id</ucd><dataType xsi:type="vs:VOTableType" arraysize="5*">char</dataType></column><column><name>RAJ2000</name><description>Right Ascension J2000.0, epoch 2000.0</description><unit>deg</unit><ucd>pos.eq.ra;meta.main</ucd></column><column><name>DEJ2000</name><description>Declination J2000.0, epoch 2000.0</description><unit>deg</unit><ucd>pos.eq.dec;meta.main</ucd></column><column><name>pmRA</name><description>Proper Motion in RA*cos(DEdeg)</description><unit>mas/yr</unit><ucd>pos.pm;pos.eq.ra</ucd><dataType xsi:type="vs:VOTableType">float</dataType></column><column><name>pmDE</name><description>Proper Motion in Dec</description><unit>mas/yr</unit><ucd>pos.pm;pos.eq.dec</ucd><dataType xsi:type="vs:VOTableType">float</dataType></column><column><name>b1mag</name><description>?
