Gaia Focused Product Release: Asteroid orbital solution: Properties and assessment

Context. We report the exploitation of a sample of Solar System observations based on data from the third Gaia Data Release (Gaia DR3) of nearly 157 000 asteroids. It extends the epoch astrometric solution over the time coverage planned for the Gaia DR4, w ...

Gaia Focused Product Release: Spatial distribution of two diffuse interstellar bands

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are absorption features seen in optical and infrared spectra of stars and extragalactic objects that are probably caused by large and complex molecules in the galactic interstellar medium (ISM). Here we investigate the Gal ...

Gaia Data Release 3: The extragalactic content

Shuangqing Liao, Richard Irving Anderson, Mária Süveges, Pablo Jose Fernandez Marcos

The Gaia Galactic survey mission is designed and optimized to obtain astrometry, photometry, and spectroscopy of nearly two billion stars in our Galaxy. Yet as an all-sky multi-epoch survey, Gaia also observes several million extragalactic objects down to ...

Gaia Focused Product Release: Radial velocity time series of long-period variables

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Context. The third Gaia Data Release (DR3) provided photometric time series of more than 2 million long-period variable (LPV) candidates. Anticipating the publication of full radial-velocity data planned with Data Release 4, this Focused Product Release (F ...

Gaia Focused Product Release: Sources from Service Interface Function image analysis Half a million new sources in omega Centauri

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Context.Gaia's readout window strategy is challenged by very dense fields in the sky. Therefore, in addition to standard Gaia observations, full Sky Mapper (SM) images were recorded for nine selected regions in the sky. A new software pipeline exploits the ...

Exploring and mapping the diffuse interstellar band at 862nm

Shuangqing Liao, Richard Irving Anderson, Mária Süveges, Pablo Jose Fernandez Marcos

Context. Di ffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are common interstellar absorption features in spectroscopic observations but their origins remain unclear. DIBs play an important role in the life cycle of the interstellar medium (ISM) and can also be used to t ...

Gaia Data Release 2 Variable stars in the colour-absolute magnitude diagram

Stephan Morgenthaler, Mikaël Martino, Jean-Marie Petit, Shuangqing Liao

Context. The ESA Gaia mission provides a unique time-domain survey for more than 1.6 billion sources with G less than or similar to 21 mag. ...

Gaia Data Release 1 Open cluster astrometry: performance, limitations, and future prospects

Stephan Morgenthaler, Mikaël Martino, Shuangqing Liao

Context. The first Gaia Data Release contains the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS). This is a subset of about 2 million stars for which, besides the position and photometry, the proper motion and parallax are calculated using Hipparcos and Tycho-2 po ...

Testing parallaxes with local Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars

Stephan Morgenthaler, Mikaël Martino, Shuangqing Liao

Context. Parallaxes for 331 classical Cepheids, 31 Type II Cepheids, and 364 RR Lyrae stars in common between Gaia and the HIPPARCOS and Tycho-2 catalogues are published in Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) as part of the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS). Ai ...
