M. Fouesneau, Y. Frémat, R. Andrae +78
The third Gaia data release contains, beyond the astrometry and photometry, dispersed light for hundreds of millions of sources from the Gaia prism spectra (BP and RP) and the spec…
Gaia Data Release 3: Astrophysical parameters inference system (Apsis) I -- methods and content overview
O. L. Creevey, R. Sordo, F. Pailler +86
Gaia Data Release 3 contains a wealth of new data products for the community. Astrophysical parameters are a major component of this release. They were produced by the Astrophysica…
Gaia Data Release 3. Stellar chromospheric activity and mass accretion from Ca II IRT observed by the Radial Velocity Spectrometer
A. C. Lanzafame, E. Brugaletta, Y. Frémat +82
The Gaia Radial Velocity Spectrometer provides the unique opportunity of a spectroscopic analysis of millions of stars at medium-resolution in the near-infrared. This wavelength ra…
Gaia Data Release 3: Analysis of RVS spectra using the General Stellar Parametriser from spectroscopy
A. Recio-Blanco, P. de Laverny, P. A. Palicio +77
The chemo-physical parametrisation of stellar spectra is essential for understanding the nature and evolution of stars and of Galactic stellar populations. Gaia DR3 contains the pa…
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…
