- Physics
- 2021
Context. Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) contains results for 1.812 billion sources in the magnitude range G = 3–21 based on observations collected by the European Space Agency Gaia satellite…
Gaia Data Release 2
- Gaia Collaboration, C. Babusiaux, T. Zwitter
- PhysicsAstronomy & Astrophysics
- 25 April 2018
Context. Gaia Data Release 2 provides high-precision astrometry and three-band photometry for about 1.3 billion sources over the full sky. The precision, accuracy, and homogeneity of both astrometry…
Gaia Early Data Release 3
- Gaia Collaboration, A. Brown, T. Zwitter
- PhysicsAstronomy & Astrophysics
- 20 November 2020
Context. Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) provides accurate astrometry for about 1.6 million compact (QSO-like) extragalactic sources, 1.2 million of which have the best-quality five-parameter…
MID-INFRARED PHOTOMETRY OF COLD BROWN DWARFS: DIVERSITY IN AGE, MASS, AND METALLICITY

- Physics, Geology
- 6 January 2010
We present new Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) photometry of 12 very late-type T dwarfs: nine have [3.6], [4.5], [5.8], and [8.0] photometry and three have [3.6] and [4.5] photometry only.…

- 2018
Context. Gaia Data Release 2 ( Gaia DR2) contains results for 1693 million sources in the magnitude range 3 to 21 based on observations collected by the European Space Agency Gaia satellite during…
RX J0806.3+1527: A double degenerate binary with the shortest known orbital period (321s)
We carried out optical observations of the field of the X–ray pulsator RX J0806.3+1527. A blue $V =$ 21.1 star was found to be the only object consistent with the X–ray position. VLT FORS spectra…
