Who is In, and Who is Not? Determining the Gaia Survey Selection Function
This project is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 101004110.
GaiaUnlimited aims at determining the Gaia survey selection function and providing corresponding data and tools. The GaiaUnlimited project was started at the 2019 Santa Barbara Gaia Sprint, hosted by the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
- The code for the GaiaUnlimited tools is hosted at https://github.com/gaia-unlimited.
- See the Tools and Data pages for more details
- Selection functions developed independently for Gaia DR2 and EDR3 can be found on the Related Projects page.
This project kicked ran as an H2020 funded effort from 2021-01-01 to 2024-09-30. GaiaUnlimited will continue as a community effort with Gaia/DPAC contributions.
