The lowerMS luminosity function

 analogous to the WD LF paper, let's look at the lower/lowest MS; just brain dump; needs follow-up.

Question: what is the "bimodality"?

Query

SELECT top 16000 *

FROM gaiaedr3.gaia_source AS g

WHERE

g.phot_g_mean_mag < 19.5

and

g.parallax > 20.

and

g.phot_g_mean_mag +5*log10(g.parallax)-10 > 11.

and

g.bp_rp > 2.


Plot



at some point one could look at optical spectra, to understand the color-bimodality:
