Description:
From the Gaia DR2 catalogue we predict astrometric microlensing
events by foreground stars with high proper motion (µ_tot >150mas/yr)
passing a background source in the next decades. Using Gaia DR2
photometry we determine an approximate mass of the lens, which we use
to calculate the expected microlensing effects. This yields 3914
microlensing events by 2875 different lenses between 2010 and 2065
with expected shifts larger than 0.1 mas between the lensed and
unlensed positions of the source. 513 of those are expected to happen
between 2014.5 - 2026.5 and might be measured by Gaia. For 127 events
we also expect a magnification between 1 mmag and 3 mag.

Description:
From the Gaia eDR3 catalogue we predict astrometric microlensing
events by foreground stars with high proper motion (μ > 100 mas/yr)
passing a background source in the next decades. Using Gaia DR3
photometry we determine an approximate mass of the lens, which we use
to calculate the expected microlensing effects. This yields 4842
microlensing events by 3791 different lenses between 2010 and 2066
with expected shifts larger than 0.1 mas between the lensed and
unlensed positions of the source. The past events might be interested
when analyzing the individual Gaia measurements). 685 of those are
expected to happen within the next decade (2021-2031). For 140 events
we also expect a magnification between 1 mmag and 0.6 mag.
Extracted sources from the Bochum Galactic Disk Survey. We provide
mean photometry in U, B, V, z, r, and i bands. Note that sources in
different bands are not matched. Also, sources sitting in the regions
imaged in multiple fields have not been matched even within one band.
In i and r, BGDS light curves are available. See related services for
details.
Estimated distances to 1.33 billion stars in Gaia DR2

Description:
This catalogue provides distances estimates (and uncertainties therein)
for 1.33 billion stars over the whole sky brighter than about G=20.7.
These have been estimated using the parallaxes (and their uncertainties)
from Gaia DR2. A Bayesian procedure was used involving a prior
with a single parameter L(l,b), which varies smoothly with Galactic
longitude and latitude according to a Galaxy model. The posterior is
summarized with a point estimate (usually the mode) and a confidence
interval (usually the 68% highest density interval). The estimation
procedure is described in detail in the `accompanying paper`_,
which also analyses the catalogue content.

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 gdr2dist, gdr3mock,
gdr3spec, gedr3auto, gedr3dist, gedr3mock, and gedr3spur schemas.
