Gaia transients in galactic nuclei

Z. Kostrzewa-Rutkowska, P. G. Jonker, S. T. Hodgkin +9

The high spatial resolution and precise astrometry and photometry of the Gaia mission should make it particularly apt at discovering and resolving transients occurring in, or near,…

A nearby superluminous supernova with a long pre-maximum 'plateau' and strong CII features

J. P. Anderson, P. J. Pessi, L. Dessart +63

Super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe) are rare events defined as being significantly more luminous than normal terminal stellar explosions. The source of the extra powering needed to a…

Gaia Data Release 2: Properties and validation of the radial velocities

D. Katz, P. Sartoretti, M. Cropper +51

For Gaia DR2 (GDR2), 280 million spectra, collected by the RVS instrument on-board Gaia, were processed and median radial velocities were derived for 9.8 million sources brighter t…
