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 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: 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…
Gaia Data Release 2: The astrometric solution
L. Lindegren, J. Hernandez, A. Bombrun +87
Gaia Data Release 2 (Gaia DR2) contains results for 1693 million sources in the magnitude range 3 to 21 based on observations collected by the European Space Agency Gaia satellite…
Gaia Data Release 2: Photometric content and validation
D. W. Evans, M. Riello, F. De Angeli +9
Aims. We describe the photometric content of the second data release of the Gaia project (Gaia DR2) and its validation along with the quality of the data. Methods. The validation w…
