Table information for 'gaiadr3_eb.gaia_source_lite_eb'
General
Table Description:
This is a light version of the full gaiadr3.gaia_source table,
containing astrometric and photometric columns and most columns
with astrophysical parameters for eclipsing binaries.
The full DR3 is available via the TAP services ivo://uni-heidelberg.de/gaia/tap
and ivo://esavo/gaia/tap
This table is
available for
ADQL queries and through the
TAP endpoint.
Resource Description:
This schema contains data re-published from the official
Gaia DR3 TAP services (e.g., ivo://uni-heidelberg.de/gaia/tap).
It provides simplified access to data related to eclipsing binary stars,
including epoch photometry and basic parameters from the gaiadr3.gaia_source
and gaiadr3.vari_eclipsing_binary tables. Timeseries are available via SSAP and DataLink.
For a list of all services and tables belonging
to this table's
resource, see Information on resource 'Gaia DR3 eclipsing binaries'
