Table information for 'gdr2mock.astrometric_performance2'

General

Table Description: This table gives numerical factors to be applied to the sky-averaged astrometric errors for the different astrometric parameters as function of ecliptic latitude β, including the effect of the variation of the number of transits over the sky. Source: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/table-2

This table is not available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description: This catalogue is a simulation of the Gaia DR2 stellar content using Galaxia (a tool to sample stars from a Besancon-like Milky Way model), 3d dust extinction maps and the latest PARSEC Isochrones. It is mimicking the Gaia DR2 data model and an apparent magnitude limit of g=20,7. Extinctions and photometry in different bands have also been included in a supplementary table as well as uncertainty estimates using a scaled nominal error model.
