The * two ways the merge has actually failed both show up here. * * A star kept twice leaves its two entries near each other on the sky, from *different* sources — * one catalogue does not list a star twice. Under an arcsecond that is never two stars at this * depth, so every such pair is a miss. Twenty-three survive today; the nineteen first counted were * all a second HYG row wanting a Gaia entry that already absorbed one (Gliese lists some doubles * twice), and the merge that trusted a Hipparcos parallax over direction left 1 112. * * The other failure leaves no close pair at all, because proper motion had already carried the * two entries tens of arcseconds apart — the 2026-08-24 refresh, where HYG sat at epoch 2000.0 * and Gaia at J2016.0. What it does leave is HYG rows that found no counterpart: 36 056 of them * against the 11 554 today, and no counterpart was possible for most of those. 8 301 of them are * every star in the published catalogue beyond 250 pc, which the main query never downloads: 6 835 * that Gaia's parallax puts past `ETL_GAIA_DISTANCE_PC` while Hipparcos put them inside * `ETL_STAR_DISTANCE_PC`, and 1 466 naked-eye stars kept at any distance. The other 3 252 are what * Gaia genuinely lacks: 1 194 brighter than V 8, which it saturates on or measures poorly, 1 832 * between 8 and 12, and 226 fainter, 184 of them Gliese stars within 50 pc that neither of its * queries holds. So the headroom left to the ceiling tracks the gap between those two cutoffs as * much as Gaia's completeness. * * This bounds a merge that went wrong, and — loosely — a Gaia download that came back short: a * truncated answer leaves the HYG rows whose counterpart it dropped without one, so survivors go * *up*, not down. Measured on the main query when it was the only one, with 10 886 survivors * against today's 11 554: 11 004 at nine tenths of its rows, 12 711 at half, 16 258 at a third.
