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 1 Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties

Anthony G. A. Brown, +590 more
TL;DR: The first Gaia data release, Gaia DR1 as discussed by the authors, consists of three components: a primary astrometric data set which contains the positions, parallaxes, and mean proper motions for about 2 million of the brightest stars in common with the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 catalogues.
Journal ArticleDOI

A box-fitting algorithm in the search for periodic transits

TL;DR: In this article, the statistical characteristics of a box-fitting algorithm to analyze stellar photometric time series in the search for periodic transits by extrasolar planets were studied, and numerical and analytical results were presented to predict the possible detection significance at various signal parameters.
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.
