Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry
Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412
Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…
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…
Strange Quasar Candidates with Abnormal Astrometric Characteristics from Gaia EDR3 and SDSS (SQUAB-II): Optical Identifications
Xiang Ji, Zhen-Ya Zheng, Qiqi Wu +7
There are some strange quasars with multiple Gaia detections or observed with abnormal astrometric characteristics, such as with large proper motions or significant astrometric noi…
A catalog of quasar candidates identified by astrometric and mid-infrared methods in Gaia EDR3
Qiqi Wu, Shilong Liao, Zhaoxiang Qi +3
Quasars are very important in materializing the reference frame. The excess emission of AGNs (active galactic nuclei) in the mid infrared band can be used to identify quasar candid…
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: 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…
Identifying quasars with astrometric and mid-infrared methods from APOP and ALLWISE
Sufen Guo, Zhaoxiang Qi, Shilong Liao +5
Context. Quasars are spatially stationary, and they are essential objects in astrometry when defining reference frames. However, the census of quasars is far from complete. Mid-inf…
A comparison of the local spiral structure from Gaia DR2 and VLBI maser parallaxes
Y. Xu, S. B. Bian, M. J. Reid +8
Context. The Gaia mission has released the second data set (Gaia DR2), which contains parallaxes and proper motions for a large number of massive, young stars. Aims. We investigate…
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…
A compilation of known QSOs for the Gaia mission
Shi-long Liao, Zhao-xiang Qi, Su-fen Guo +1
Quasars are essential for astrometric in the sense that they are spatial stationary because of their large distance from the Sun. The European Space Agency (ESA) space astrometric…
The properties of the quasars astrometric solution in Gaia DR2
Shilong Liao, Beatric Bucciarelli, Zhaoxiang Qi +3
Gaia data release 2 (DR2) provides the best non-rotating optical frame aligned with the radio frame (ICRF) thanks to the inclusion of about half-million quasars in the 5-parameter…
Gaia Data Release 1: Astrometry - one billion positions, two million proper motions and parallaxes
L. Lindegren, U. Lammers, U. Bastian +80
Gaia Data Release 1 (Gaia DR1) contains astrometric results for more than 1 billion stars brighter than magnitude 20.7 based on observations collected by the Gaia satellite during…
