Gaia Data Release 4: Modelling of drift-scan related effects in Gaia's point spread function

Nicholas Rowell, Michael Davidson, Nigel C. Hambly +5

An accurate model of the point spread function is required in order to estimate positions and brightnesses of stars in digitized images. The PSF of the Gaia space telescope is unus…

On the nature of apparent transient sources on the National Geographic Society-Palomar Observatory Sky Survey glass copy plates

Nigel Hambly, Adam Blair

We examine critically recent claims for the presence of above-atmosphere optical transients in publicly-available digitised scans of Schmidt telescope photographic plate material d…

Gaia Early Data Release 3: Updated radial velocities from Gaia DR2

G. Seabroke, C. Fabricius, D. Teyssier +40

Gaia's Early Third Data Release (EDR3) does not contain new radial velocities because these will be published in Gaia's full third data release (DR3), expected in the first half of…
