An empirical model of the Gaia DR3 selection function

  • 1. Max Planck Institute for Astronomy

Description

Precomputed maps of the M10 parameter used to predict the completeness of the Gaia DR3 source catalogue.

allsky_M10_hpx7.hdf5 is a tessellation of the whole sky in Galactic nested healpix scheme of order 7.

allsky_uniq_10.fits uses an adaptive resolution and is based on the 'uniq' numbering of healpix tiles. Regions of higher density use a finer resolution, up to order 10, chosen so that every tile contains a minimum of twenty sources to compute M10 from.
