Quasi-automatic software support for Gaia ground based optical tracking
S. Bouquillon, C. Barache, T. Carlucci +6
The ESA Gaia satellite mission will create a catalog of 1 billion stars with unprecedented astrometric precision. To achieve its aim in terms of astrometric precision, a ground bas…
GBOT: ground based optical tracking of the Gaia satellite
Martin Altmann, Sebastien Bouquillon, Francois Taris +6
Gaia, the 1 billion star, high precision, astrometric satellite will revolutionise our understanding in many areas of astronomy ranging from bodies in our Solar System to the forma…
Current status of the Extension of the FRIPON network in Chile
Felipe Gutiérrez Rojas, Sébastien Bouquillon, Rene A. Mendez +17
FRIPON is an efficient ground-based network for the detection and characterization of fireballs, which was initiated in France in 2016 with over one hundred cameras and which has b…
Gaia Data Release 2: Photometric content and validation
D. W. Evans, M. Riello, F. De Angeli +9
Aims. We describe the photometric content of the second data release of the Gaia project (Gaia DR2) and its validation along with the quality of the data. Methods. The validation w…
Characterizing the astrometric precision limit for moving targets observed with digital-array detectors
S. Bouquillon, R. A. Mendez, M. Altmann +5
Aims. We investigate the maximum astrometric precision that can be reached on moving targets observed with digital-sensor arrays, and provide an estimate for its ultimate lower lim…
Interests of a new lunar laser instrumentation on the ESO NTT Telescope
A. Fienga, C. Courde, J. M. Torre +9
We analyze the impact of the installation of a lunar laser ranging device on the NTT 3.6m ESO telescope. With such an instrument, the scientific communities of fundamental physics…
