The VMC Survey -- L. Type II Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds

Teresa Sicignano, Vincenzo Ripepi, Marcella Marconi +9

Type II Cepheids (T2C) are less frequently used counterparts of classical Cepheids which provide the primary calibration of the distance ladder for measuring in the local Uni…

Gaia Data Release 3: The Galaxy in your preferred colours. Synthetic photometry from Gaia low-resolution spectra

Gaia Collaboration, P. Montegriffo, M. Bellazzini +27

Gaia Data Release 3 provides novel flux-calibrated low-resolution spectrophotometry for about 220 million sources in the wavelength range 330nm - 1050nm (XP spectra). Synthetic pho…

A theoretical scenario for Galactic RR Lyrae in the Gaia database: constraints on the parallax offset

Marcella Marconi, Roberto Molinaro, Vincenzo Ripepi +5

On the basis of an extended set of nonlinear convective RR Lyrae pulsation models we derive the first theoretical light curves in the Gaia bands and the corresponding intensity-wei…

Cepheid distances based on Gaia and VMC@VISTA observations

V. Ripepi, R. Molinaro, M. Marconi +1

We present new accurate Period-Luminosity (PL) and Period-Wesenheit (PW) relations in the V,J,Ks bands based on a sample of more than 4500 Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud (L…

Gaia Data Release 1. Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties

Gaia Collaboration, A. G. A. Brown, A. Vallenari +5

At about 1000 days after the launch of Gaia we present the first Gaia data release, Gaia DR1, consisting of astrometry and photometry for over 1 billion sources brighter than magni…

The Gaia mission

Gaia Collaboration

Gaia is a cornerstone mission in the science programme of the European Space Agency (ESA). The spacecraft construction was approved in 2006, following a study in which the original…
