Simulation of the distribution of source-to-source distances in a dense, random field (left) after applying selection criteria similar to Gaia DR1. The fraction retained is shown in the right panel. The field has a true source density of 500 000 stars per square degree, but only 322 000 remain after applying the selection criteria.
