Table information for 'gaiadr3_eb.vari_eclipsing_binary_lite'

General

Table Description: This table describes the properties of eclipsing binaries resulting from the variability analysis in Gaia DR3. It includes most columns from the gaiadr3.vari_eclipsing_binary table.

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'
