Download of Gaia DR2 miscellaneous catalog

Gaia DR2 miscellaneous catalogs (other than main source catalog) are provided as a gzipped csv file, and can be downloaded as a tar file from the link below:

gaiadr2-misc.tar (2.9GB)

The contents of the tar file are as follow:

.
├── Auxiliary        
│   ├── AuxAllwiseAgnGdr2CrossId.csv.gz # cross-matched to sources in the AllWISE AGN catalogue
│   ├── AuxIersGdr2CrossId.csv.gz       # identified as the optical counterparts of VLBI sources
│   ├── AuxSsoOrbits.csv.gz             # Auxiliary information on asteroid orbits and basic photometric parameters
│   └── AuxSsoResiduals.csv.gz          # Residuals with respect to an orbital fit considering only the Gaia observations
