Data Release 3 of the AAVSO All-Sky Photometric Survey (APASS)
Abstract
(Abstract only) APASS is an all-sky survey in five filters (B,V,g',r',i') covering the magnitude range 10-17. It is currently underway at two sites: Dark Ridge Observatory in New Mexico, and CTIO in Chile. The survey will take approximately two years to complete, and will provide a precision of 0.02 magnitude for well-sampled stars. This paper presents the current status of the project and provides the access methods to the catalog.
