Gaia Data Release 2. Summary of the contents and survey properties

Gaia Collaboration, A. G. A. Brown, A. Vallenari +4

We present the second Gaia data release, Gaia DR2, consisting of astrometry, photometry, radial velocities, and information on astrophysical parameters and variability, for sources…

Gaia Data Release 2. Short-timescale variability processing and analysis

M. Roelens, L. Eyer, N. Mowlavi +13

The Gaia DR2 sample of short-timescale variable candidates results from the investigation of the first 22 months of Gaia photometry for a subsample of sources at the Gaia faint end…

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…

3D maps of interstellar dust in the Local Arm: using , 2MASS and APOGEE-DR14

R. Lallement, L. Capitanio, L. Ruiz-Dern +6

Gaia data and stellar surveys open the way to the construction of detailed 3D maps of the Galactic interstellar (IS) dust based on the synthesis of star distances and extinctions.…

The empirical Gaia G-band extinction coefficient

C. Danielski, C. Babusiaux, L. Ruiz-Dern +2

The first Gaia data release unlocked the access to the photometric information of 1.1 billion sources in the -band. Yet, given the high level of degeneracy between extinction an…

Empirical photometric calibration of the Gaia Red Clump: colours, effective temperature and absolute magnitude

L. Ruiz-Dern, C. Babusiaux, F. Arenou +2

Gaia Data Release 1 allows to recalibrate standard candles such as the Red Clump stars. To use those, they first need to be accurately characterised. In particular, colours are nee…

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…
