besancon_model/besancon_gaia_dr2.py
The output of python besancon_model/besancon_gaia_dr2.py --help is shown below:
This Script downloads a besancon model including include_kinematics using the astroquery interface. Gaia DR2 parallax and proper motion sky-averaged uncertainties are derived using pygaia. Random errors corresponding to Gaia DR2 expectations can be added to the parallaxes and distances of the model output. positional arguments: email Your valid email address. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --ra_deg RA_DEG RA in degrees --dec_deg DEC_DEG Dec in degrees --field_size_squaredegree FIELD_SIZE_SQUAREDEGREE Field size in squaredegrees. --data_dir DATA_DIR Path to directory for table saving --overwrite OVERWRITE Overwrite download from besancon server. --add_random_gaia_errors ADD_RANDOM_GAIA_ERRORS Add random errors to parallax and PM assuming Gaia DR2 performances. --random_seed RANDOM_SEED numpy random seed for error simulation. Allows for repeatability.
