Abstract

MOST and COROT are two satellite missions dedicated to asteroseismology

and the detection of exoplanets. Both satellites use CCDs as a detector

and hence they do not exclusively observe their prime targets but an

entire field with additional objects. It is crucial to know their

astrophysical properties and to have information on the location in the

CCD-fields. Therefore VISAT (VIenna Selection of Astronomical Targets,

see Kallinger et al., this volume) was used to investigate the fields

around the prime targets of COROT and MOST resulting in the two

catalogues described in this article.
