The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: off-axis performance of PSF reconstruction
Matteo Simioni, Daniel Jodlbauer, Carmelo Arcidiacono +14
The highest scientific return, for adaptive optics (AO) observations, is achieved with a reliable reconstruction of the PSF. This is especially true for MICADO@ELT. In this present…
Gaia dr3 reveals the complex dynamical evolution within star clusters
C. Viscasillas Vázquez, L. Magrini, N. Miret-Roig +6
Context: Star clusters, composed of stars born from the same molecular cloud, serve as invaluable natural laboratories for understanding the fundamental processes governing stellar…
Gaia Focused Product Release: Sources from Service Interface Function image analysis -- Half a million new sources in omega Centauri
Gaia Collaboration, K. Weingrill, A. Mints +400
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 ni…
Gaia Focused Product Release: A catalogue of sources around quasars to search for strongly lensed quasars
Gaia Collaboration, A. Krone-Martins, C. Ducourant +398
Context. Strongly lensed quasars are fundamental sources for cosmology. The Gaia space mission covers the entire sky with the unprecedented resolution of " in the optical, ma…
Gaia Focused Product Release: Radial velocity time series of long-period variables
Gaia Collaboration, M. Trabucchi, N. Mowlavi +403
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-velocit…
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey: Motivation, implementation, GIRAFFE data processing, analysis, and final data products
G. Gilmore, S. Randich, C. C. Worley +165
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey is an ambitious project designed to obtain astrophysical parameters and elemental abundances for 100,000 stars, including large representat…
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey: Implementation, data products, open cluster survey, science, and legacy
S. Randich, G. Gilmore, L. Magrini +161
In the last 15 years different ground-based spectroscopic surveys have been started (and completed) with the general aim of delivering stellar parameters and elemental abundances f…
Gaia Early Data Release 3: Structure and properties of the Magellanic Clouds
Gaia Collaboration, X. Luri, L. Chemin +417
We compare the Gaia DR2 and Gaia EDR3 performances in the study of the Magellanic Clouds and show the clear improvements in precision and accuracy in the new release. We also show…
Gaia Early Data Release 3: The Galactic anticentre
Gaia Collaboration, T. Antoja, P. McMillan +417
We aim to demonstrate the scientific potential of the Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) for the study of the Milky Way structure and evolution. We used astrometric positions, proper…
Gaia Early Data Release 3: The Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars
Gaia Collaboration, R. L. Smart, L. M. Sarro +420
We produce a clean and well-characterised catalogue of objects within 100\,pc of the Sun from the \G\ Early Data Release 3. We characterise the catalogue through comparisons to the…
Gaia Early Data Release 3: Acceleration of the solar system from Gaia astrometry
Gaia Collaboration, S. A. Klioner, F. Mignard +414
Context. Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) provides accurate astrometry for about 1.6 million compact (QSO-like) extragalactic sources, 1.2 million of which have the best-quali…
ESA Voyage 2050 white paper -- Faint objects in motion: the new frontier of high precision astrometry
F. Malbet, U. Abbas, J. Alves +28
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. Summary of the contents and survey properties
Gaia Collaboration, A. G. A. Brown, A. Vallenari +4
We present the second Gaia data release, Gaia DR2, consisting of astrometry, photometry, radial velocities, and information on astrophysical parameters and variability, for sources…
