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

The Gaia mission

T. Prusti, +624 more
TL;DR: Gaia as discussed by the authors 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 interferometric concept was changed to a direct-imaging approach.
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. Kinematics of globular clusters and dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way

Amina Helmi, +484 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the second data release of the Gaia mission and its power for constraining many different aspects of the dynamics of the satellites of the Milky Way is demonstrated. But the accuracy of the errors, statistical and systematic, are relatively well understood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gaia Data Release 2. Mapping the Milky Way disc kinematics

D. Katz, +449 more
TL;DR: Gaia DR2 as discussed by the authors provides high-precision positions, parallaxes, and proper motions for 1.3 billion sources as well as line-of-sight velocities for 7.2 million stars brighter than GRVS = 12 mag.
