PM diagrams for individual sources in the GAIAHUB field of view (FOV) for Leo I. Left: Gaia DR3, Center: GAIAHUB, Right: difference between the measurements between Gaia DR3 and GAIAHUB. These are all sources that are found in the Gaia DR3 and GAIAHUB frame before any cleaning, membership selection, or absolute astrometric alignment of the relative GAIAHUB PMs. The black dashed lines are centered on zero PM in the left and center panels. In the right panel, the solid black lines show the weighted mean of the difference between the relative and absolute frames. Note the tighter clustering of sources in the GAIAHUB frame. The diagonal feature seen in the left and center panels is likely the result of a systematic in Gaia where PM R.A. and PM decl. are correlated in some sources.
