20.14.3 gold_sample_fgkm_stars

A golden sample of F, G, K and M type stars.
Stellar astrophysical parameters of the golden sample of F, G, K, and M stars from Gaia Collaboration et al. (2023c). Values are identical to the ones in the astrophysical_parameters and astrophysical_parameters_supp tables, but only those values retained after filtering are copied over.

Columns description:

source_id : Unique source identifier (unique within a particular Data Release) (long)

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

Reddening E(BP-RP) (assuming source is a single star) inferred by GSP-Phot Aeneas from BP/RP spectra, apparent G magnitude and parallax. This is the median of the MCMC samples. Taken from best library that achieves the highest goodness-of-fit value. Note that while $E(BP-RP)=A_{BP}-A_{RP}$, this was computed at the level of MCMC samples. Hence, this relation is not exactly true for the median values.

spectraltype_esphs : Spectral type from ESP-HS (string)

ESP-HS aims to only process A,B, and O stars. Therefore, during the selection procedure, a random forest algorithm, trained on simulated BP/RP data, provides a coarse estimate of the spectral type (O,B,A,F,G, or KM).
