Gaia21bja: pre-main sequence star with quasi-periodic bursts

Ádám Mátéfy, Zsófia Nagy, Ágnes Kóspál +12

Gaia21bja is a Gaia alerted young stellar object (YSO) that exhibits at least seven quasi-peridoic brightenings over a 20 year-long light curve with durations of 1.5-2 years and am…

The Outbursting YSOs Catalogue (OYCAT)

C. Contreras Peña, J. -E. Lee, G. Herczeg +39

YSOs can display unpredictable and high-amplitude rises in brightness that can last from a few months to possibly over 100 years. These types of outbursts are explained by large ch…

The 2023 outburst of the Gaia alerted EXor Gaia23bab

Zsófia Nagy, Ágnes Kóspál, Péter Ábrahám +33

Episodic accretion is a fundamental process in the build-up of the stellar mass. EX Lupi-type eruptive young stars (EXors) represent one of the main types of episodic accretion. We…

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412

Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…

The Enigma of Gaia18cjb: a Rare Hybrid of FUor and EXor?

Eleonora Fiorellino, Peter Abraham, Agnes Kospal +28

Context. Gaia18cjb is one of the Gaia-alerted eruptive young star candidates which has been experiencing a slow and strong brightening during the last 13 years, similar to some FU…

Gaia Focused Product Release: Sources from Service Interface Function image analysis -- Half a million new sources in omega Centauri

Gaia Collaboration, K. Weingrill, A. Mints +400

Gaia's readout window strategy is challenged by very dense fields in the sky. Therefore, in addition to standard Gaia observations, full Sky Mapper (SM) images were recorded for ni…
