Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The Gaia mission is driving a revolution in stellar astrophysics, ISM, and Galactic structure and formation. In this Seminar, we will look into the preparations for Gaia Data Release 4, which will take place in 2026. The goal of the Seminar is to familiarize students with the mission, its data products, and main science cases, and invite them to "play" with the reduced, and easily accessible, Gaia data. There will be a main list of papers to be discussed in the Seminar, although students are welcome to propose Gaia papers on specific topics of their interest.
