Table 1

Comparison of the correct best matches obtained with the broadening method using two different proper motion thresholds (and the proper motion propagation of positions method as baseline).

Catalogue	NBest matches	Proper motion	N Best matches	% Best matches	N Correct best matches	% Correct best matches
	pos prop^a method^b	threshold (mas yr⁻¹)	broad method^b	broad method^b	broad method^b	broad method^b
2MASS PSC	424 265 005	50	432 794 791	102.01	422 382 563	99.56
	424 265 005	0	408 841 264	96.36	407 427 704	96.03
GSC 2.3	727 460 368	50	731 416 596	100.54	725 395 647	99.72

Notes. ^(a) pos prop: proper motion propagation of positions method. ^(b)We list here the number of distinct external catalogue sources that matched with a Gaia source with a five-parameter astrometric solution.

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.
