NSS orbital models compatible with a linear trend (gaiadr3.nss_non_linear_spectro)

The table has 56808 rows, 16 columns.

Description

This table contains non-single-star orbital models for spectroscopic binaries compatible with a trend. Several possible models are hosted within the same table and they are indicated by the field nss_solution_type. The description of this latter lists all possible solution types considered for this release. Only a selection of parameters hosted in this table are provided here, depending on the solution. The details of those is given in the description of field bit_index, which can also be used to extract the relevant elements of the correlation vector corr_vec. Details about the formalism used to derive the parameters in this table are given in the on-line documentation, see Chapter cu4nss.
