Investigating Gaia EDR3 parallax systematics using asteroseismology of Cool Giant Stars observed by Kepler, K2, and TESS I. Asteroseismic distances to 12,500 red-giant stars

Saniya Khan, Andrea Miglio, Emma Willett +10

Gaia EDR3 has provided unprecedented data that generate a lot of interest in the astrophysical community, despite the fact that systematics affect the reported parallaxes at the le…

An empirical model of the Gaia DR3 selection function

Tristan Cantat-Gaudin, Morgan Fouesneau, Hans-Walter Rix +11

Interpreting and modelling astronomical catalogues requires an understanding of the catalogues' completeness or selection function: objects of what properties had a chance to end u…

Gaia DR2 in 6D: Searching for the fastest stars in the Galaxy

T. Marchetti, E. M. Rossi, A. G. A. Brown

We search for the fastest stars in the subset of stars with radial velocity measurements of the second data release (DR2) of the European Space Agency mission Gaia. Starting from t…

Mapping young stellar populations towards Orion with Gaia DR1

E. Zari, A. G. A. Brown, J. de Bruijne +2

We use the first data release of the Gaia mission to explore the three dimensional arrangement and the age ordering of the many stellar groups towards the Orion OB association, aim…

Predicting the hypervelocity star population in Gaia

T. Marchetti, O. Contigiani, E. M. Rossi +3

Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are amongst the fastest objects in our Milky Way. These stars are predicted to come from the Galactic center (GC) and travel along unbound orbits across…

The rate of stellar encounters along a migrating orbit of the Sun

C. A. Martínez-Barbosa, L. Jílková, S. Portegies Zwart +1

The frequency of Galactic stellar encounters the Solar system experienced depends on the local density and velocity dispersion along the orbit of the Sun in the Milky Way galaxy. W…

Nested shells reveal the rejuvenation of the Orion-Eridanus superbubble

B. B. Ochsendorf, A. G. A. Brown, J. Bally +1

The Orion-Eridanus superbubble is the prototypical superbubble due to its proximity and evolutionary state. Here, we provide a synthesis of recent observational data from WISE and…
