 We will use different //physical// situations for the mock data:
   - **DF**: Single-component spherical models based on distribution functions.
-    * **Dwarf spheroidal galaxies**: mocks from [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011ApJ...742...20W|Walker & Peñarrubia (2011)]] see [[http://astrowiki.ph.surrey.ac.uk/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=data:gaiachallenge_spherical.pdf|explanation of DF models by Matt Walker & Jorge Peñarrubia]] (note the typo at top of page 3: the units of positions are kpc) .

 The output formats are:
   * //cart6D//: ''x, y, z, v_x, v_y, v_z'', with positions in kpc and velocities in km/s.
-  * //Gaia/Theia//: ''RA, Dec, PM_RA, err(PM_RA), PM_Dec, err(PM_Dec), v_LOS, err(v_LOS)'', with coordinates in decimal degrees, PMs in mas/yr and LOS velocities in km/s.
+  * //Gaia/Theia//: ''RA, Dec, PM_RA, err(PM_RA), PM_Dec, err(PM_Dec), v_LOS, err(v_LOS)'', with coordinates in decimal degrees, PMs in mas/yr and LOS velocities in km/s. Files with realistic velocity errors have a final column providing apparent magnitude.

 For each physical/astronomical setup, we have files with 1000 or 10000 system velocities (even 100000 system velocities for GCs), plus possible additional field stars. You are encouraged to run your models on the first 5 mocks of 1000 and on the mock of 10000. For the cart6D mocks, we propose to only analyze those using the //z// axis for the LOS.
 ==== Modeling modes ====
-You are encouraged to run your models on these mocks, both in //LOS-only// mode and in //LOS+PM// mode. And to be fair, you should assume radial profiles of stellar density, mass density and velocity anisotropy that are either non-parametric or parametrized with the correct general shape, but with free inner and outer slopes (for densities) or anisotropies, and free scales (for the stellar and mass densities and for the velocity anisotropy).

 ==== Links to new mocks ====
 You can find the mocks at these locations:
   * [[http://www.iap.fr/users/gam/dSph_cart6d.tar.gz|here]] for the dSph cart6D ones (2.4 MB, ASCII)
-  * [[http://www.iap.fr/users/gam/GC5_SphericalMocks.tar.gz|here]] for the dSph Gaia-like and the standard GC mocks (290 MB .tar.gz file, CSV)
+  * [[http://www.iap.fr/users/gam/GC5_SphericalMocks2.tar.gz|here]] for the dSph Gaia-like and the standard GC mocks (274 MB .tar.gz file, CSV) [new: added magnitudes in last column (except for cart6D and GaiaSimple)]
   * [[http://www.iap.fr/users/gam/GC5_GC_Rot.tar.gz|here]] for the GC mocks with possible rotation (268 MB .tar.gz file, CSV)
 If you previously worked this summer with ASCII files for GCs found on this site, please start again with the CSV files (debugged, and the CSV output is easier to read in TopCat).
