Challenge 2: Reference stars

Objectives

  • Employ high-resolution spectra from X-shooter library to investigate how the Gaia spectra will look like.
  • Investigate GSP-Phot performance on X-shooter spectra.

Comparison to RVS and BP/RP spectra

  • Gaia RVS spectra and corresponding segments of x-shooter spectra look very similar. Ca-Triplet lines are easily identified and other prominent lines are also in obvious correspondence.
  • x-shooter spectra contain telluric bands around 760nm and 950nm. In fact, BP/RP shows prominent dips there, which are NOT reflected by space-based instrument models. That must be a problem when modelling those spectra with GSP-Phot.
