Gaia Data Release 1. Testing the parallaxes with local Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars
Gaia Collaboration, G. Clementini, L. Eyer +588
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…
Gaia Data Release 1. Open cluster astrometry: performance, limitations, and future prospects
Gaia Collaboration, F. van Leeuwen, A. Vallenari +589
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,…
Exploring Solar-Terrestrial Interactions via Multiple Observers (A White Paper for the Voyage 2050 long-term plan in the ESA Science Programme)
G. Branduardi-Raymont, M. Berthomier, Y. Bogdanova +24
This paper addresses the fundamental science question: "How does solar wind energy flow through the Earth's magnetosphere, how is it converted and distributed?". We need to underst…
Processing challenges in the XMM-Newton slew survey
R. Saxton, B. Altieri, A. Read +3
The great collecting area of the mirrors coupled with the high quantum efficiency of the EPIC detectors have made XMM-Newton the most sensitive X-ray observatory flown to date. Thi…
X-raying Chemical Evolution and Galaxy Formation in The Antennae
G. Fabbiano, A. Baldi, A. R. King +6
We present the integrated 411 ks {\it Chandra} ACIS-S exposure of the Antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/39). Besides a rich population of point-like sources, this spectacular image revea…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: Solar system and exoplanets
G. Branduardi-Raymont, S. Sciortino, K. Dennerl +11
The high resolution non-dispersive spectroscopy and unprecedented sensitivity of Athena+ will revolutionize solar system observing: the origin of the ions producing Jupiter's X-ray…
