Modern Astrometric and Photometric Surveys

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to survey main trends in creating modern sources of astrometric and photometric data in astronomy. A list of existing optical, IR, and UV surveys and other surveys whose release is planned for the near future is given, together with a brief description and comparative analysis. This paper is based on a presentation made at the conference “Modern Astrometry 2017,” dedicated to the memory of K.V. Kuimov (Sternberg Astronomical Institute,Moscow State University, October 23–25, 2017).
