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…
Gaia Data Release 1, Pre-processing and source list creation
C. Fabricius, U. Bastian, J. Portell +1
The first data release from the Gaia mission contains accurate positions and magnitudes for more than a billion sources, and proper motions and parallaxes for the majority of the 2…
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…
On the definition and use of the ecliptic in modern astronomy
Nicole Capitaine, Michael Soffel
We review the problems related to the definition and use of the ecliptic in modern astronomy and we discuss whether the concept of an ecliptic is still needed for some specific use…
The gravitational time delay in the field of a slowly moving body with arbitrary multipoles
Michael H. Soffel, Wen-Biao Han
We calculate the time delay of light in the gravitational field of a slowly moving body with arbitrary multipoles (mass and spin multipole moments) by the Time-Transfer-Function (T…
