Description
I will present the GaiaUnlimited project which ran between 2021 and 2024 and was aimed at determining the Gaia survey selection function and providing corresponding data and tools. The complications in determining the Gaia selection function will be summarized and the way this was handled will be reviewed. I will also provide an overview of the various tools developed within this project and show some example science cases addressed with the tools. I will also point out the current computational challenges we face in connection the selection function for Gaia DR4 and the role of SPACIOUS.
