• 2018-07-24 (MD):

  Added a column phot_rvs_mean_mag based on the approximations given in 2018A&A...616A...1G. This is going to be severely off outside of 0.1<BP-G<1.7; the column is also not included in the dumps.

• 2018-05-17 (MD): Two of the dump files were truncated due to overflows; also, some stars beyond DR1's top source_id were missing in the dump. If you have downloaded the dump before today, please re-download dump-059114520-059124586.fits, dump-058933326-058943392.fits, and dump-100507267-100663295.fits.
• 2018-04-25 (JR):

  The catalog was revised and several spurious previsously unextincted OB and TP-AGB stars were removed (see the arXiv manuscript for details). In consequence, the number of sources has decreased by about 0.5%.

  The uncertainties in BP flux were truncated for uncertainties higher than 100 mag in BP (they are replaced by NULL. These high values come from the nominal error model for single-transits and are probably too pessimistic. In short: Do not use bp fluxes if the errors are NULL.

  Also, made available a dump of the (non-null) rows of gdr2mock.main.

A facility to download the raw FITS tables containing the generated data for the Gaia DR2 mock tables. Almost all users will want to use the ingested and processed table gdr2mock.main on the TAP service at http://dc.g-vo.org/tap instead.

Rough metadata for the FITS binary tables is available from gdr2mock.generated_data. To download the files, visit gdr2mock/q/download/static.
