It
is just a view copying gaia.dr3lite, which should preferentially be
used in new queries. This table is being kept around in order to keep
legacy queries from breaking unnecessarily. However, it is actually
DR3 data rather than eDR3. The minute differences did not seem to
warrant keeping two copies of the relatively massive data around.http://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/tableinfo/gaia.edr3liteGaia0/0-1157174 571741.986e-19 4.966e-19OpticalgaiaSelections from Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3)
This schema contains data re-published from the official
Gaia mirrors (such as ivo://uni-heidelberg.de/gaia/tap) either to
support combining its data with local tables (the various Xlite tables)
or to make the data more accessible to VO clients (e.g., epoch fluxes).
Other Gaia-related data is found in, among others, the gdr3mock,
gdr3spec, gedr3auto, gedr3dist, gedr3mock, and gedr3spur schemas.gaia.edr3liteGaia eDR3 source catalogue "light" This is a “light” version of the full Gaia DR3 gaia_source table. It

This measures the excess of flux in the BP and RP integrated photometry with respect to the G band. This excess is believed to be caused by background and contamination issues affecting the BP and RP data. Therefore a large value of this factor for a given source indicates systematic errors in the BP and RP photometry.stat.fit.goodnessfloatnullableastrometric_excess_noiseThis is the excess noise of the source, measuring the disagreement, expressed as an angle, between the observations of a source and the best-fitting standard astrometric model (using five astrometric parameters). A value of 0 signifies a well-behaved source, a positive value signifies that the residuals are larger than expected.masstat.fit.goodnessfloatnullableradial_velocitySpectroscopic radial velocity in the solar barycentric reference frame. For stars brighter than about 12 mag, this is the median of all single-epoch measurements. For fainter stars, RV estimation is from a co-added spectrum.km/sspect.dopplerVeloc.opt;em.opt.Ifloatnullableradial_velocity_errorError in radial_velocity; this is the error of the median for bright stars.

The pseudocolour is the astrometrically estimated effective wavenumber of the photon flux distribution in the astrometric (G) band, estimated from the chromatic displacements of image centroids. The field is empty when chromaticity was instead taken into account using the photometrically determined ν_eff given in the field nu_eff_used_in_astrometry.um**-1em.wavenumber;phot.colorfloatnullablepseudocolour_errorStandard error of the pseudocolour.um**-1stat.error;em.wavenumber;phot.colorfloatnullablevisibility_periods_usedNumber of visibility periods (groups of observations at least 4 days apart) used in the astrometric solution. A small value (less than 10) indicates that the calculated parallax could be more vulnerable to error not reflected in the formal uncertainties.meta.number;obsshortastrometric_params_solvedThis is a binary code indicating which astrometric parameters were estimated for the source. A set bit means the parameter was estimated. The least-significant bit represents α, the next bits δ, parallax, PM(RA) and PM(De). For Gaia DR2 the only relevant values are 31 (all five parameters solved) and 3 (only positions).meta.codeshortnullablerandom_indexRandom index that can be used to deterministically select subsetsmeta.codelongindexedruweRenormalized Unit Weight Error; this is a revised measure for the overall consistency of the solution as defined by GAIA-C3-TN-LU-LL-124-01.
