Optimized filters centered at 3920-3960 Angstrom yield metallicity estimates with 0.18-0.39 dex precision down to [Fe/H] ~ -4 for metal-poor stars from Gaia XP spectra, enabling a catalog of 14.5 million such stars.
Empirical zero-point constants for Gaia bolometric corrections are derived as weighted averages 0.8677, 1.0449, and 2.0510 mag for G, GBP, and GRP from 88 stars, yielding corresponding magnitude zero-points via IAU definitions.
