Journal ArticleDOI

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

Anthony G. A. Brown, +452 more
TL;DR: The second Gaia data release, Gaia DR2 as mentioned in this paper, is a major advance with respect to Gaia DR1 in terms of completeness, performance, and richness of the data products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gaia Data Release 2: Observational Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams

C. Babusiaux, +451 more
TL;DR: In this article, the power of the Gaia DR2 in studying many fine structures of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD) was highlighted, depending in particular on stellar population selections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gaia Data Release 2 - Observational Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams

C. Babusiaux, +451 more
TL;DR: Gaia Data Release 2 provides high-precision astrometry and three-band photometry for about 1.3 billion sources over the full sky as mentioned in this paper, which is unprecedented in both precision and coverage of the various Milky Way stellar populations and stellar evolutionary phases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gaia Data Release 2. Using Gaia parallaxes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guidelines on how to use parallaxes more efficiently to estimate distances by using Bayesian methods, and provide examples that show more generally how to combine proper motions and paralaxes and the handling of covariances in the uncertainties.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Gaia DR2 view of the open cluster population in the Milky Way

TL;DR: In this article, a list of members and cluster parameters for as many clusters as possible was established, making use of Gaia data alone, and an unsupervised membership assignment code, UPMASK, was applied to the Gaia DR2 data contained within the fields of those clusters.
