Initial Gaia Source List (IGSL)

The Initial Gaia Source List (IGSL) was commissioned by DPAC to fulfill the following broad
requirements: all-sky positions, proper motions, and magnitudes for objects to
a limit of Gaia magnitude G = 21 where possible, e.g., where there are large
(>10000 square degrees) catalogs that reach that limit. The proper motions
and magnitudes are provided on a best effort basis, nominally with
precisions of 10 mas/yr and 0.3 magnitudes, respectively, but obviously
limited by the currently available large catalogs. The DPAC Quasar
and the Ecliptic Pole catalogs are included with no selection on magnitudes.
Hipparcos objects were also included with no selection on magnitudes.
The IGSL has been used as the starting point for the Initial Data Treatment (IDT)
cross-matching routines. See Smart, R.L. and Nicastro, L., A&A, 570, A87 (2014)
for further details.
