Gaia: organisation and challenges for the data processing
Gaia is an ambitious space astrometry mission of ESA with a main objective to map the sky in astrometry and photometry down to a magnitude 20 by the end of the next decade. While the mission is built and operated by ESA and an industrial consortium, the data processing is entrusted to a consortium formed by the scientific community, which was formed in 2006 and formally selected by ESA one year...
متن کاملCrossmatching variable objects with the Gaia data
Tens of millions of new variable objects are expected to be identified in over a billion time series from theGaiamission. Crossmatching known variable sources with those from Gaia is crucial to incorporate current knowledge, understand how these objects appear in the Gaia data, train supervised classifiers to recognise known classes, and validate the results of the Variability Processing and An...
متن کاملThe Gaia mission Pulsating stars with Gaia
Gaia is a cornerstone mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) selected in 2000, with a target launch date of 2011. The Gaia mission will perform a survey of about 1 billion sources brighter than V = 20. Its goal is to provide astrometry leading to parallaxes, proper-motions and positions. Astrometric data are complemented by multicolour photometry and a spectroscopic instrument (up to V = 17...
متن کاملThe Gaia Project - technique, performance and status
Gaia is a satellite mission of the ESA, aiming at absolute astrometric measurements of about one billion stars (all stars down to 20 magnitude, with unprecedented accuracy. Additionally, magnitudes and colors will be obtained for all these stars, while radial-velocities and spectral properties will be determined only for bright objects (V < 17.5). At 15 magnitude Gaia aims at an angular accurac...
متن کاملGaia contribution to the low-redshift supernova population
The effectiveness of the ESA Gaia mission in obtaining a meaninful sample of supernovae (SNe) is based on three key points: detection rates, characterization capability and an extended validation phase. Focussing on the second, we present our investigations into the use of a range of classification techniques, whereby we demonstrate the ability to discriminate between various SN subtypes, based...
