Abstract

TOPCAT, and its command line counterpart STILTS, are powerful tools for working with large source catalogs. ESA's Gaia mission, most recently with its second data release, is producing source catalogs of unprecedented quality for more than a billion sources. This paper presents some examples of how TOPCAT and STILTS can be used for analysis of Gaia data.
