Description
At the GAVO data Center, we hold several data collections part of
or derived from Gaia data release 2:
* A version of GDR2's gaia_source table with just enough columns
to allow basic science (but therefore a bit faster and simpler to
deal with than the full gaia_source table). This table also
has Lindegren's RUWE measure for filtering out marginal solutions.
* The light curves released with DR2 as both a TAP-queriable table
(light curves as arrays) and an SSA service.
* The gdr2dist.main table with distances estimates computed by
Bailer-Jones et al (:bibcode:`2018AJ....156...58B`) that should be
used in preference to simple parallax operations.
* The gdr2mock schema, which contains a virtual Gaia catalog
generated from a carefully built model of the Galaxy.
