Table information for 'gaiadr3_eb.ts_ssa'

General

Table Description: This table contains metadata of photometric timeseries for eclipsing binaries from Gaia DR3 epoch photometry in IVOA SSA format. The actual data is available through a datalink service. We store only fluxes, which can be turned into Vega magnitudes using Gaia DR3 zero points: ZP_G_Vega = 25.6873668671 ± 0.0027553202 ZP_Bp_Vega = 25.3385422158 ± 0.0027901700 ZP_Rp_Vega = 24.7478955012 ± 0.0037793818 mag = -2.5 log10(flux) + ZP Corresponding zero points will be stored as parameters in the lightcurve instance

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.
