Description:
We present astrophysical parameters of 220 million stars, based on
Gaia XP spectra and near-infrared photometry from 2MASS and WISE.
Instead of using ab initio stellar models, we develop a data-driven
model of Gaia XP spectra as a function of the stellar parameters, with
a few straightforward built-in physical assumptions. This resource is
a VO re-publication of the resulting catalog of stellar parameters.

This is a redacted version of the SDSS DR16 table prepared for VizieR
(V/154/sdss16). It is mainly here to facilitate local matches; for
original SDSS-related research, it is probably better to somewhere
else.
Over VizieR and SDSS, we are keeping most of the per-band values in
arrays to keep the column list manageable. Note that in ADQL, array
indexes are 1-based.
We are trying to orient our column names on SDSS but use underscores
instead of camel-casing (e.g. spec_obj_id instead of SpecObjID), since
mixed-case identifiers in SQL is asking for trouble.
To save space, we do not keep psf-based classifications, per-band
offsets, spectrum metadata, and USNO-related information in this
table. Let the operators know if you need any of that.
