... A Multidimensional Binary Search Tree for Star Catalog Correlations D. Nguyen, K. DuPrie and P. Zografou Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, MA 02138 Abstract. A multi­dimensional binary search tree, k­d tree, is proposed to support range queries in multi­key data sets. ... Data Volume Limitation If the k number of keys to be searched for contain RA, Dec and some other attributes then one can minimize the number of nodes in the tree by utilizing only the near neighbor FITS files. ...
