Notes. The listed coordinates are referenced to the 2MASS frame (ICRS).

(a)

MJD is the average modified julian date of the measurement.

(b)

σrel is the position uncertainty with respect to the 2MASS frame in arcseconds, including statistical uncertainty and systematic offset between instruments (see Sect. 2.4).

(c)

The coordinates are measured on the 2MASS Atlas image in the Ks band.

(d)

The coordinates of S5 are taken from the 2MASS Point Source catalog.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
