Table 7.5: The following table contains the minimum and maximum values, mean and standard deviation for all the Catalogue fields, and the number of sources not represented in the following plots. AL (resp. AC) designate the Gaia along-scan (resp. across-scan) measurements. gMeanMagError is σG, the uncertainty on G, computed using phot_g_mean_flux_error and phot_g_mean_flux.
