Faint objects in motion: the new frontier of high precision astrometry

Fabien Malbet, Céline Boehm, Alberto Krone-Martins +83

Sky survey telescopes and powerful targeted telescopes play complementary roles in astronomy. In order to investigate the nature and characteristics of the motions of very faint ob…

Gaia Data Release 2: Observational Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams

Gaia Collaboration, C. Babusiaux, F. van Leeuwen +450

We highlight the power of the Gaia DR2 in studying many fine structures of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD). Gaia allows us to present many different HRDs, depending in partic…
