Evaluation of the Gaia astrometric solution. The limits of PM error (0.5 mas yr−1) and parallax error (0.5 mas) are shown as horizontal dashed lines. First two panels: errors vs. Gaia PMs in RA (left) and Dec (middle), respectively. A Gaussian profile is fitted to PM in each dimension and the limits of ±5σ are calculated (vertical dashed lines). The selected targets are shown in blue color. Last panel (right): errors vs. Gaia parallaxes. A Gaussian fitting is adopted again for the parallax, while an additional elliptical constraint has also been applied with the 5σ limits of PMRA and PMDec taken as the primary and secondary radii, respectively. The same criteria of ±5σ were calculated for the parallax (vertical dashed lines). The final selected targets are shown in red color. Green contours show the number density in each diagram.
