Gaia data[edit]

Hello Lithopsian, I have noticed that you have recently reviewed and improved many of my newly created astronomy articles. I appreciate the help, but could you please tell me where you find the Gaia DR3 data for the stars? (Including luminosity, mass, parallax, radius, spectral type, etc.) I am curious for the source and it could significantly help me use better and more official sources in my future article creations. Thank you, and I hope to be beneficial to the astronomical community on Wikipedia! 2003 LN6 (talk) 05:11, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gaia data is available in a number of places. I use VizieR because it is convenient and Simbad links to it automatically. If you go to VizieR, you can query against data release 3 using a source ID, an object name, or coodinates. Note that the default settings of 2 arc-minute squares will return you way too many hits from Gaia, so restrict it to something like 2 arc-seconds (although that can be tricky with high-proper motion objects unless you have coordinates for the right epoch). The result will just be a main data row (hopefully just one), look in the top left corner of the page for other tables that may contain data about the object; paramp is probably the most interesting. If you have trouble, from Simbad, you can pull up a page of basic data for most bright-ish objects and there will be a link to the relevant Gaia DR3 row, and many other VizieR databases. Click the icon next to the relevant identifier. Lithopsian (talk) 14:25, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, thank you. 2003 LN6 (talk) 23:15, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • disambiguated zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • was a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that did not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
