Description The VVV Infrared Astrometric Catalog (VIRAC) collects the proper motion measurements based on the VVV survey data. It provides ZYJHKs bandmerged magnitudes for each star. For the multi-epoch observations in the Ks band the magnitude is a mean value. Typical precision of the pm measurements are of 0.67 mas/yr for bright stars (11<Ks<14).
Please refer to the full data release description for further information.
