Testing dark matter and geometry sustained circular velocities in the Milky Way with Gaia DR2
Mariateresa Crosta, Marco Giammaria, Mario G. Lattanzi +1
Flat rotation curves in disk galaxies represent the main evidence for large amounts of surrounding dark matter. Despite of the difficulty in identifying the dark matter contributio…
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…
The Galactic warp revealed by Gaia DR2 kinematics
E. Poggio, R. Drimmel, M. G. Lattanzi +14
Using Gaia DR2 astrometry, we map the kinematic signature of the Galactic stellar warp out to a distance of 7 kpc from the Sun. Combining Gaia DR2 and 2MASS photometry, we identify…
Gaia Data Release 2. Short-timescale variability processing and analysis
M. Roelens, L. Eyer, N. Mowlavi +13
The Gaia DR2 sample of short-timescale variable candidates results from the investigation of the first 22 months of Gaia photometry for a subsample of sources at the Gaia faint end…
Gaia Data Release 2: Mapping the Milky Way disc kinematics
Gaia Collaboration, D. Katz, T. Antoja +12
To illustrate the potential of GDR2, we provide a first look at the kinematics of the Milky Way disc, within a radius of several kiloparsecs around the Sun. We benefit for the firs…
Gaia Data Release 2: Properties and validation of the radial velocities
D. Katz, P. Sartoretti, M. Cropper +51
For Gaia DR2 (GDR2), 280 million spectra, collected by the RVS instrument on-board Gaia, were processed and median radial velocities were derived for 9.8 million sources brighter t…
