The Gaia DR2 provides a list of 147 535 solar-like variable star candidates
obtained by the analysis of about 22 months of Gaia photometry. For each of these
candidates, the Release supplies different parameters like the stellar rotation period,
the amplitude of variability and a list of photometric outliers that could be possible
flare events candidates. This section describes the methods and algorithms used for
obtaining this list, as well as the verification and validation performed on the obtained
sample. All the details on the solar-like analysis methods and results are extensively
described in Lanzafame et al. (2018).
