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.

Gaia Data Release 2. Observations of solar system objects

Federica Spoto, +501 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the processing of the Gaia DR2 data, and describe the criteria used to select the sample published in Gaia DR 2, and explore the data set to assess its quality.
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.

The Asteroseismic potential of Kepler : first results for solar-type stars

William J. Chaplin, +109 more
TL;DR: In this article, preliminary asteroseismic results from Kepler on three G-type stars are presented, made at one-minute cadence during the first 33.5 days of science operations, reveal high signal-to-noise solar-like oscillation spectra in all three stars: about 20 modes of oscillation may be clearly distinguished in each star.
