Gaia Early Data Release 3: The astrometric solution

L. Lindegren, S. A. Klioner, J. Hernández +94

Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) contains results for 1.812 billion sources in the magnitude range G = 3 to 21 based on observations collected by the European Space Agency Gai…

Gaia Early Data Release 3: Parallax bias versus magnitude, colour, and position

L. Lindegren, U. Bastian, M. Biermann +14

Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) gives trigonometric parallaxes for nearly 1.5 billion sources. Inspection of the EDR3 data for sources identified as quasars reveals that thei…

Gaia Early Data Release 3: Modelling and calibration of Gaia's point and line spread functions

N. Rowell, M. Davidson, L. Lindegren +18

Context: The unprecedented astrometric precision of the Gaia mission relies on accurate estimates of the locations of sources in the Gaia data stream. This is ultimately performed…

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: 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…

Gaia Data Release 1: The reference frame and the optical properties of ICRF sources

F. Mignard, S. Klioner, L. Lindegren +18

As part of the data processing for Gaia Data Release~1 (Gaia DR1) a special astrometric solution was computed, the so-called auxiliary quasar solution. This gives positions for sel…

Gaia: focus, straylight and basic angle

A. Mora, M. Biermann, A. Bombrun +17

The Gaia all-sky astrometric survey is challenged by several issues affecting the spacecraft stability. Amongst them, we find the focus evolution, straylight and basic angle variat…

A conjugate gradient algorithm for the astrometric core solution of Gaia

Alex Bombrun, Lennart Lindegren, David Hobbs +3

The ESA space astrometry mission Gaia, planned to be launched in 2013, has been designed to make angular measurements on a global scale with micro-arcsecond accuracy. A key compone…
