Gaia Data Release 3: BP/RP split-epoch validation dataset

This dataset includes mean BP/RP spectra for about 43.6 thousand sources for which two mean spectra per source were generated using only a random selection of the available epoch spectra.

More details about this dataset are given in Appendix D in the paper "Gaia Data Release 3: Processing and validation of BP/RP low-resolution spectral data", De Angeli, F., et al. A&A (2022). Results obtained from this dataset are published in the same paper and in "Gaia Data Release 3: The Galaxy in your preferred colours. Synthetic photometry from Gaia low-resolution spectra", Gaia Collaboration, Montegriffo, P., et al. A&A (2022).
