Visual portfolio of some data properties for asteroids in Gaia DR3. In the top panel, we show the distribution on the semi-major axis of objects belonging to the main populations (eight Centaurs are excluded). The bin size is 1/30 au in the left part and 1/ au for TNOs. Middle panel: distribution of main-belt asteroids in the proper elements as provided by Astdys on the a, e (left) and a, sin(i) planes (right). Colours represent sin(i) and e, respectively. The left bottom panel presents the distribution of the published G magnitude per transit. The cut imposed at G = 21 is visible. The right bottom panel shows that the distribution of the H magnitudes of the objects, as provided by the Minor Planet Center, is strongly dominated by main-belt asteroids, with a contribution from NEOs for the faintest sources.
