cds-question@unistra.frspectroscopystandard-starsmetallicityoptical-observationcatalogsIn this era of large spectroscopic surveys of stars of the Milky Way, pipelines need to be tested and validated against a set of well-known stars. The Gaia FGK benchmark stars (GBS) are among the preferred samples of reference stars. They consist of a small but carefully selected sample of stars whose parameters are derived consistently and homogeneously. A series of papers has been published that discuss the definition and evolution of the sample of GBS. Here we summarise this work and provide our current list of stars with associated parameters which are recommended for validation and calibration purposes for stellar surveys.2018RNAAS...2..152Jhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/III/281CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/A+A/564/A133 : Gaia FGK benchmark stars: metallicity (Jofre+, 2014)J/A+A/566/A98 : The Gaia Benchmark Stars - Library (Blanco-Cuaresma+, 2014)J/A+A/582/A81 : Gaia FGK benchmark stars: abundances (Jofre+, 2015)J/A+A/592/A70 : Gaia FGK stars: low-metallicities candidates (Hawkins+, 2016)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=III/281https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=III/281http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=III/281https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=III/281https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=III/281http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=III/281GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table III/281/gbs (Stellar parameters of the GBS stars)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/III/281/gbs?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/III/281/gbs?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/III/281/gbs?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true243.9052875-8.369441670.0055555555555555566/15 2923 4376 4574 6219 8767 8845 12704 12953 13301 16115 17425 22120 22300 23096 23540 24715 26302 26457 26552 26975 27857 28664 30878 33281 36035 36693 36697 38072 38216 41763 42248 44542https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/III/281?format=asciiOpticaldefaultIII/281/gbsStellar parameters of the GBS starsSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharStarID1Star namemeta.id;meta.maincharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
