This report summarises progress made in estimating the local density of dark matter (ρ
DM,⊙), a quantity that is especially important for dark matter direct detection experiments …

The unprecedented quality of the astrometric measurements obtained with the ESA Gaia
spacecraft have initiated a revolution in Milky Way astronomy. Studies of star clusters in …

Context. We present the third data release of the European Space Agency's Gaia mission,
Gaia DR3. This release includes a large variety of new data products, notably a much …

Measurement of the distances to nearby galaxies has improved rapidly in recent decades.
The ever-present challenge is to reduce systematic effects, especially as greater distances …

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 …

Context. Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) gives trigonometric parallaxes for nearly
1.5 billion sources. Inspection of the EDR3 data for sources identified as quasars reveals …

The ensemble of chemical element abundance measurements for stars, along with precision
distances and orbit properties, provides high-dimensional data to study the evolution of the …

We use the data from Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) to study the kinematic properties of
Milky Way globular clusters. We measure the mean parallaxes and proper motions (PM) for …

For decades we have known that the Sun lies within the Local Bubble, a cavity of low-
density, high-temperature plasma surrounded by a shell of cold, neutral gas and dust …

We present a cross-calibration of Hipparcos and Gaia EDR3 intended to identify
astrometrically accelerating stars and to fit orbits to stars with faint, massive companions …
