... Quadtrees have a wide range of applications, from graphics to image processing to spatial information systems. ... With the advent of the Guide Star Catalog and other large astronomical source lists, an efficient method of storing and accessing such spatial data is necessary. ... We also discuss how the linear quadtree can aid in the correlation of source positions from different astronomical catalogs and how it can be applied to relational databases. ...
