Conceived in 1996 to support observations with the RATAN-600 radio telescope, CATS is now a publicly accessible database allowing to search through 400 catalogs, all of them accessible by anonymous ftp, with a total of 109 records (). CATS' content overlaps only partly with that of VizieR at CDS and is more complete for radio sources due to contributions from the catalog collection of one of us (HA, see Norris et al., this volume, for a summary on SpS 6). Similar to existing databases CATS offers data extraction both interactively and via batch requests to , with object selection either from a subset or from all available catalogues, by coordinates, flux, frequency, and other parameters. CATS offers a larger variety of radio source lists but only partial inter-catalog cross-identifications. It also provides interactive creation of radio spectra of certain source samples as well as over 1300 radio images of Galactic SNRs.
