r3d100013405 Gaia@AIP Gaia@AIP Services https://gaia.aip.de/ Launched in December 2013, Gaia is destined to create the most accurate map yet of the Milky Way. By making accurate measurements of the positions and motions of stars in the Milky Way, it will answer questions about the origin and evolution of our home galaxy. The first data release (2016) contains three-dimensional positions and two-dimensional motions of a subset of two million stars. The second data release (2018) increases that number to over 1.6 Billion. Gaia’s measurements are as precise as planned, paving the way to a better understanding of our galaxy and its neighborhood. The AIP hosts the Gaia data as one of the external data centers along with the main Gaia archive maintained by ESAC and provides access to the Gaia data releases as part of Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC). https://gaia.aip.de/contact/ disciplinary 1.69 billion stars 2016-09-14 eng 3 Natural Sciences 311 Astrophysics and Astronomy 31101 Astrophysics and Astronomy 32 Physics https://gaia.aip.de/ Databases Source code Structured graphics Structured text dataProvider GAIA DR1 GAIA DR2 GAIA DR3 Global Auroral Imaging Access RAVE DR5 TYCHO2 UCAC5 European Space Agency ESA EEC general non-profit https://www.esa.int/ ROR:03wd9za21 Federal Ministry of Education and Research BMBF Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung DEU funding non-profit https://www.bmbf.de/bmbf/en/home/home_node.html ROR:04pz7b180 Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam AIP Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam DEU general technical non-profit https://www.aip.de/de/ ROR:03mrbr458 Terms of usage of the Data Access Service (DAS) at AIP https://cloud.aip.de/terms/ open CC0 https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ restricted registration CC0 https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ other https://gaia.aip.de/cms/credit/ restricted registration other yes https://gaia.aip.de/oai/ https://gaia.aip.de/tap/ DOI https://gaia.aip.de/cms/credit/ unknown unknown International Virtual Observatory Alliance Technical Specifications http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/metadata-standards/international-virtual-observatory-alliance-technical-specifications It is developed and maintained by AIP's E-Science group: https://github.com/aipescience 2020-09-08 2022-12-07
