This is a re-publication the Gaia DR3 RP/BP spectra in the IVOA Spectral
Data Model. It presents the continous spectra in sampled form, using a
Monte Carlo scheme to decorrelate errors, elaborated in this resource's
reference URL. The underlying tables are also available for querying
through TAP, which opens some powerful methods for mass-analysing the data.

This is gaia_source from the Gaia Data Release 3, stripped to just
enough columns to enable basic science (but therefore a bit faster and
simpler to deal with than the full gaia_source table).
Note that on this server, there is also The gedr3dist.main, which
gives distances computed by Bailer-Jones et al. Use these in
preference to working with the raw parallaxes.
This server also carries the gedr3mock schema containing a simulation
of gaia_source based on a state-of-the-art galaxy model, computed by
Rybizki et al.
The full DR3 is available from numerous places in the VO (in
particular from the TAP services ivo://uni-heidelberg.de/gaia/tap and
ivo://esavo/gaia/tap).
This is a “light” version of the full Gaia DR2 gaia_source table,
containing the original astrometric and photmetric columns with just
enough additional information to let careful researchers notice when data
is becomes uncertain and the full error model should be consulted. The
full DR2 is available from numerous places in the VO (in particular from
the TAP services ivo://uni-heidelberg.de/gaia/tap and
ivo://esavo/gaia/tap).
This table also includes a column containing the Renormalized Unit Weight
Error RUWE (GAIA-C3-TN-LU-LL-124-01), a robust measure for the
consistency of the solution.
On this TAP service, there is the table gdr2dist.main containing
distances computed by Bailer-Jones et al (:bibcode:`2018AJ....156...58B`).
If in doubt, use these instead of the parallaxes provided here.
Geometric and photogeometric distances to 1.47 billion stars in Gaia
Early Data Release 3 (eDR3)

Description:
We estimate the distance from the Sun to sources in Gaia eDR3 that have
parallaxes. We provide two types of distance estimate, together with
their corresponding asymmetric uncertainties, using Bayesian posterior
density functions that we sample for each source. Our prior is based
on a detailed model of the 3D spatial, colour, and magnitude
distribution of stars in our Galaxy that includes a 3D map of
interstellar extinction.
The first type of distance estimate is purely geometric, in that it only
makes use of the Gaia parallax and parallax uncertainty. This uses a
direction-dependent distance prior derived from our Galaxy model. The
second type of distance estimate is photogeometric: in addition to
parallax it also uses the source's G-band magnitude and BP-RP
colour. This type of estimate uses the geometric prior together with a
direction-dependent and colour-dependent prior on the absolute magnitude
of the star.
Our distance estimate and uncertainties are quantiles, so are invariant
under logarithmic transformations. This means that our median estimate
of the distance can be used to give the median estimate of the distance
modulus, and likewise for the uncertainties.

High-Resolution Very Large Array Imaging of Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Stripe 82 at 1.4 GHz
Short Name:

Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
This is a high-resolution radio survey of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
(SDSS) Southern Equatorial Stripe, a.k.a. Stripe 82. This 1.4 GHz survey
was conducted with the Very Large Array (VLA) primarily in the
A-configuration, with supplemental B-configuration data to increase
sensitivity to extended structure. The survey has an angular resolution
of 1.''8 and achieves a median rms noise of 52 μJy per beam over 92 deg^2.
The catalog contains 17,969 isolated radio components, for an overall
source density of ∼195 sources/deg^2. See also J.A. Hodge et al,
:bibcode:`2011AJ....142....3H` .
The main result catalog from the ESA Hipparcos satellite, obtained
November 1989 through March 1993. In the GAVO DC, several columns were
left out and all angles are given in degrees.
