Notes.

^(a)

PosErr_maxE = max [ max(RAerr_E),max(DECerr_E)], see Sect. 3.1.

^(b)

SysErr_max = PM_refEpochDiff_max/ 5, see Sect. 3.2.

^(c)

R_EpochDiff is defined in Sect. 3.1, Eq. (2).

^(d)

The effective angular resolution on the sky of Gaia DR1, in particular in dense areas, is not yet at this expected level (Arenou et al. 2017).

^(e)

The maximum of position error refers to the propagated errors at J2000.0.

^(f)

Effective resolution value is our best guess.

^(g)

Angular resolution in the four W1–W4 bands, respectively.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
