Gliese Catalog Stars with Accurate Coordinates and 2MASS Cross-Identifications

Metadata Updated: September 19, 2025

This table contains precise epoch 2000 coordinates and cross-identifications to sources in the 2MASS Point Source Catalog for nearly all stars in the Gliese, Gliese-Jahreiss, and Woolley catalogs of nearby stars. The only Gliese objects where the authors were not successful are two Gliese sources that are actually QSOs; two proposed companions to brighter stars, which they believe do not exist; four stars included in one of the catalogs but identified there as only optical companions; one probable plate flaw; and two stars that simply remain unrecovered. For the 4251 recovered stars, 2693 have coordinates based on Hipparcos positions, 1549 have coordinates based on 2MASS data, and 9 have positions from other astrometric sources. All positions have been calculated at epoch 2000 using proper motions from the literature, which are also given here. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/PASP/122/885">CDS Catalog J/PASP/122/885</a> file table1.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
