Wikipedia pages for most notable stars have a nice table showing lots of facts, like RA+Dec, absolute magnitude, apparent magnitude, variability period, etc. That such a table is missing, for this important Cepheid, does not inspire confidence. -- 99.233.186.4 ( talk) 21:14, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
I tried to find RS Puppis in the Gaia DR2 browser at sky.esa.int, and it's not there (bright source in nebulosity is going to be difficult for the initial processing pipeline).
The citation is just to the Gaia DR2 release paper, which does not mention 'Puppis' or 'Pup' even once. If Gaia is disagreeing with geometry at the ten-sigma level, that ought to have produced at least a short paper and we ought to cite it.
