Gaia@AIP provides access to Gaia data and related products hosted by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam.
About Gaia@AIP
Gaia@AIP is a web service that provides access to Gaia mission data and related products, hosted by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP). It covers the major Gaia Data Release 3, published on 13 June 2022, and the first Gaia Focused Product Release, made public on 10 October 2023, which introduced five new catalogues covering areas such as crowded regions, gravitational lensing, long period variable stars, solar system objects and interstellar medium spectra. The site also points to extra data products, including the StarHorse catalog.
AIP hosts the Gaia data as one of the external data centers alongside the main Gaia archive maintained by ESAC. Data can be reached through Virtual Observatory (VO) tools, and the service advertises unlimited spectra access among its features. The site includes documentation and a login option; what the login unlocks is not described.
