Gaia Data Release 1: Catalogue validation
F. Arenou, X. Luri, C. Babusiaux +42
Before the publication of the Gaia Catalogue, the contents of the first data release have undergone multiple dedicated validation tests. These tests aim at analysing in-depth the C…
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…
Accretion in action: phase space coherence of stellar debris and globular clusters in Andromeda's South-West Cloud
Dougal Mackey, Geraint Lewis, Michelle Collins +13
A central tenet of the current cosmological paradigm is that galaxies grow over time through the accretion of smaller systems. Here, we present new kinematic measurements near the…
The outer halo globular cluster system of M31 - II. Kinematics
J. Veljanoski, A. D. Mackey, A. M. N. Ferguson +13
We present a detailed kinematic analysis of the outer halo globular cluster (GC) system of M31. Our basis for this is a set of new spectroscopic observations for 78 clusters lying…
The outer halo globular cluster system of M31 - I. The final PAndAS catalogue
A. P. Huxor, A. D. Mackey, A. M. N. Ferguson +8
We report the discovery of 59 globular clusters (GCs) and two candidate GCs in a search of the halo of M31, primarily via visual inspection of CHFT/MegaCam imagery from the Pan-And…
