Photo-astrometric distances, extinctions, and astrophysical parameters for Gaia EDR3 stars brighter than G=18.5

F. Anders, A. Khalatyan, A. B. A. Queiroz +23

We present a catalogue of 362 million stellar parameters, distances, and extinctions derived from Gaia's early third data release (EDR3) cross-matched with the photometric catalogu…

Structural parameters of 389 local Open Clusters

Y. Tarricq, C. Soubiran, L. Casamiquela +4

The distribution of member stars in the surroundings of an Open Cluster (OC) can shed light on the process of its formation, evolution and dissolution. The analysis of structural p…

Hunting for open clusters in Gaia EDR3: new open clusters found with OCfinder

A. Castro-Ginard, C. Jordi, X. Luri +6

The improvements in the precision of the published data in \textit{Gaia} EDR3 with respect to \textit{Gaia} DR2, particularly for parallaxes and proper motions, offer the opportuni…

The (im)possibility of strong chemical tagging

L. Casamiquela, A. Castro-Ginard, F. Anders +1

The possibility of identifying co-natal stars that have dispersed into the Galactic disc based on chemistry only is called strong chemical tagging. Its feasibility has been debated…

A high pitch angle structure in the Sagittarius Arm

M. A. Kuhn, R. A. Benjamin, C. Zucker +6

Context: In spiral galaxies, star formation tends to trace features of the spiral pattern, including arms, spurs, feathers, and branches. However, in our own Milky Way, it has been…

On the Milky Way spiral arms from open clusters in Gaia EDR3

A. Castro-Ginard, P. J. McMillan, X. Luri +7

Context. The physical processes driving the formation of Galactic spiral arms are still under debate. Studies using open clusters favour the description of the Milky Way spiral arm…

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…
