gaia focused product release documentation

2.1 Focused product release

2.1.7 lens_outlier

This table contains the individual observations that have been discarded from the analysis of the gravitational lenses around the list of source_ids tabulated in the lens candidate table. These are observations that could not be associated with any of the components assigned to the source of interest.

Columns description:

solution_id : Solution Identifier (long)

All Gaia data processed by the Data Processing and Analysis Consortium comes tagged with a solution identifier. This is a numeric field attached to each table row that can be used to unequivocally identify the version of all the subsystems that were used in the generation of the data as well as the input data used. It is mainly for internal DPAC use but is included in the published data releases to enable end users to examine the provenance of processed data products. To decode a given solution ID visit https://gaia.esac.esa.int/decoder/solnDecoder.jsp

source_id : Unique source identifier (long)

A unique single numerical identifier of the source obtained from the Gaia DR3 main source catalogue (for a detailed description see gaiadr3.gaia_source.source_id).

outlier_id : Counter for the outliers of each component (int)

A sequential counter that uniquely identifies the outliers belonging to a given component.

ra_obs : Right ascension of each individual outlier observation (double, Angle[deg])

Right ascension of each individual outlier observation, as decoded from the transit_id.

dec_obs : Declination of each individual outlier observation (double, Angle[deg])

Declination of each individual outlier observation, as decoded from the transit_id.

g_flux_obs : Flux value of each individual outlier observation (double, Flux[e s1])

G-band flux value of each individual outlier observation. Note that this value may be missing in some cases.

g_flux_obs_error : Flux error value of each individual outlier observation (float, Flux[e s1])

G-band flux error value of each individual outlier observation. Note that this value may be missing in some cases.

g_mag_obs : Onboard G magnitudes of each individual outlier observation (float, Magnitude[mag])

Onboard G-band magnitude of each individual outlier observation.

epoch_obs : Epoch of the individual outlier observation (double, Time[Barycentric JD in TCB  2 455 197.5 (day)])

Epoch of the individual outlier observation, given as Julian Days in TCB at the Barycentre, minus 2 455 197.5 days.
