abstract

We present the third data release of the European Space Agency's Gaia mission, GDR3. The GDR3 catalogue is the outcome of the processing of raw data collected with the Gaia instruments during the first 34 months of the mission by the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium. The GDR3 catalogue contains the same source list, celestial positions, proper motions, parallaxes, and broad band photometry in the G, G$_{BP}$, and G$_{RP}$ pass-bands already present in the Early Third Data Release. GDR3 introduces an impressive wealth of new data products. More than 33 million objects in the ranges $G_{rvs} < 14$ and $3100 <T_{eff} <14500 $, have new determinations of their mean radial velocities based on data collected by Gaia. We provide G$_{rvs}$ magnitudes for most sources with radial velocities, and a line broadening parameter is listed for a subset of these. Mean Gaia spectra are made available to the community. The GDR3 catalogue includes about 1 million mean spectra from the radial velocity spectrometer, and about 220 million low-resolution blue and red prism photometer BPRP mean spectra. The results of the analysis of epoch photometry are provided for some 10 million sources across 24 variability types. GDR3 includes astrophysical parameters and source class probabilities for about 470 million and 1500 million sources, respectively, including stars, galaxies, and quasars. Orbital elements and trend parameters are provided for some $800\,000$ astrometric, spectroscopic and eclipsing binaries. More than $150\,000$ Solar System objects, including new discoveries, with preliminary orbital solutions and individual epoch observations are part of this release. Reflectance spectra derived from the epoch BPRP spectral data are published for about 60\,000 asteroids. Finally, an additional data set is provided, namely the Gaia Andromeda Photometric Survey (abridged)

Gaia DR3 Variable White Dwarfs vetted by ZTF

astro-ph.SR · 2025-09-18 · conditional · novelty 6.0

New catalogue of 1423 Gaia DR3 variable white dwarf candidates, with 141 ZTF-confirmed periodic variables classified into known types and 83 newly identified periodic stars.

Constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity from Quaia

astro-ph.CO · 2025-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Reports f_NL = -20.5^{+19.0}_{-18.1} (68% CL) from combined Quaia quasar auto-correlation and CMB lensing cross-correlation assuming p_phi=1, or -28.7^{+26.1}_{-24.6} for p_phi=1.6.

Ionized gas emission in protoplanetary disks with the SKAO

astro-ph.SR · 2026-07-08 · conditional · novelty 4.0

Synthetic SKA-Mid observations of simulated MHD and photoevaporative disk winds show that free-free emission is detectable in hours and stacked hydrogen recombination lines are spectrally resolvable in ~10 hours.

Gaia21bja: pre-main sequence star with quasi-periodic bursts

astro-ph.SR · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Gaia21bja is identified as a pre-main sequence star with quasi-periodic bursts, showing spectral features and a 5.5-6 times higher accretion rate during outbursts that place it in the periodic category of outbursting YSOs.

Spectroscopic analysis of RGB stars in nine open clusters

astro-ph.SR · 2026-06-09 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

New spectroscopic measurements of RGB stars in nine open clusters confirm mass-dependent extra-mixing processes and indicate that initial 17O and 18O abundances may vary.
