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…

Gaia Early Data Release 3: The Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars

Gaia Collaboration, R. L. Smart, L. M. Sarro +420

We produce a clean and well-characterised catalogue of objects within 100\,pc of the Sun from the \G\ Early Data Release 3. We characterise the catalogue through comparisons to the…

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…
