Data fields available in the Gaia DR2 tables related to LPVs.

Data field name Description Affected by
parallax?
Table vari_classifier_result

source_id Unique source identifier of the LPV candidate No
best_class Equals “MIRA_SR” for all LPV candidates No
best_class_score Confidence (between 0 and 1) of the classifier in the identification of an LPV No
Table vari_classifier_result

source_id Unique source identifier of the LPV candidate No
frequency Frequency of the LPV [day−1] No
frequency_error Uncertainty on the frequency [day−1] No
bolometric_corr Bolometric correction [mag] Yesa
bolometric_corr_error Uncertainty on the bolometric correction [mag] Yesa
abs_mag_bol Absolute bolometric magnitude [mag] Yes
abs_mag_bol_error Uncertainty on the absolute bolometric magnitude [mag] Yes
rsg_flag Red supergiant flag [boolean] Yes

Notes. (a) Bolometric corrections are affected by parallax for stars identified as red super giants, see Appendix A.5.
