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.

The last digits of the source_id are reserved for a running number that serves as a unique identifier per HEALPix cell. This is formed in accordance with Gaia's source_id definition, but of course mock objects have no relation to any Gaia objects that may have an identical source_id.meta.id;meta.mainlongindexedraBarycentric Right Ascension in ICRS at ref_epochdegpos.eq.ra;meta.maindoubleindexednullabledecBarycentric Declination in ICRS at ref_epochdegpos.eq.dec;meta.maindoubleindexednullablera_errorStandard error of ra (with cos δ applied).masstat.error;pos.eq.rafloatnullabledec_errorStandard error of decmasstat.error;pos.eq.decfloatnullablepmraProper motion in right ascension of the source in ICRS at ref_epoch.

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.goodnessfloatnullableradial_velocitySpectroscopic radial velocity in the solar barycentric reference frame. The radial velocity provided is the median value of the radial velocity measurements at all epochs. Warning: in the vicinity of bright stars, DR2 RVs can be grossly wrong.

The value given in this field was astrometrically determined in a preliminary solution, using the chromatic displacement of image centroids calibrated by means of the effective wavenumbers (ν_eff) of primary sources calculated from BP and RP magnitudes. The field is empty when no such determination was possible, in which case a default value of 1.6 1/µm was assumed.um**-1floatnullablemean_varpi_factor_alMean parallax factor in the AL direction, computed from all the good observations of the source processed in the astrometry. The value given in this field is typically in the range [−0.23, +0.32] (1st and 99th percentiles). A value outside this range indicates a distribution of observations that is unfavourable for the determination of the parallax, and the calculated parallax could then be more vulnerable to errors, e.g. from the calibration model, not reflected in the formal uncertainties.stat.fit.paramfloatnullablevisiblilty_periods_usedNumber of visibility periods used in Astrometric solution.
