20.13.1 vari_summary
Summary table that provides the information on where a source_id can be found in the different Variability tables and statistical parameters of time series, using only transits not rejected.
Note that NULL is reported when the statistical parameter value is missing or cannot be calculated.
Columns description:
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
A unique single numerical identifier of the source obtained from gaia_source (for a detailed description see gaia_source.source_id).
The number of processed observations for variability analyses of this source, using only transits not rejected.
