Currently, the ICRS (International Celestial Reference System), realized by the ICRF (International Celestial Reference Frame) or ICRF2, is the reference system adopted by the IAU. It is based on the very precise VLBI positions of a few hundred compact extragalactic radio sources. Despite its excellent precision, the ICRF is far from providing a reference system that is available for the entire sky and accessible to all observers. The ICRF has to be densified and extended to other wavelengths, mainly to the optical domain where the astronomical activities are more intense. For this reason, the IAU has recommended and encouraged works in this direction over the years. Many of them were developed to give sometimes good positions and proper motions, but they are very limited in magnitude, while others are extremely dense and deep in magnitude but have low accuracy, mainly for the proper motions. Nevertheless, all these contributions are very important because they are complementary. We present a homogeneous and precise optical astrometric catalog that extends the ICRF in the direction of 12 low-extinction windows of the Galactic bulge and provides at the same time a useful database for kinematic studies.2011A&A...534A..91Thttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/534/A91CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/246 : 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri+ 2003)J/A+AS/136/261 : Reference stars for 12 low-extinction fields (Dominici+ 1999)J/A+AS/139/321 : Stellar variability towards Galactic Bulge (Dominici+ 1999)J/A+A/517/A44 : Spitzer sources in the Galactic bulge (Uttenthaler+, 2010)J/ApJS/194/18 : The Galactic Bulge Survey: X-ray observations (Jonker+, 2011)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/534/A91https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/534/A91http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/534/A91https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/534/A91https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/534/A91http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/534/A91GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/534/A91/table2 (Galactic Bulge Valinhos Observatory Catalog, GBVOC)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/534/A91/table2?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/534/A91/table2?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/534/A91/table2?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true271.9459025-31.8177647220.0055555555555555565/7186 10544 6/28702 28721 28724 28768-28770 28796-28798 28986 29072-29073 29147 29150 29169 29172 29857 29859-29860 42281 42284 42291-42294 42331-42332 42334 47847 47856 478581.1166583743361574e-19 1.7003137259100215e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/534/A91?format=asciiOpticalInfrareddefaultJ/A+A/534/A91/table2Galactic Bulge Valinhos Observatory Catalog, GBVOCVmagValinhos merdian magnitudemagphot.mag;em.opt.VfloatrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
