Gaia Data Release 3

🤖 Plain-English Summary

We present the third data release of the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission, Gaia DR3. The quasar host and galaxy light profile collection is the first such survey that is all sky and space based.

🔑 Key Findings

• This release includes a large variety of new data products, notably a much expanded radial velocity survey and a very extensive astrophysical characterisation of Gaia sources.
• We outline the content and the properties of Gaia DR3, providing an overview of the main improvements in the data processing in comparison with previous data releases (where applicable) and a brief discussion of the limitations of the data in this release.
• The Gaia DR3 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.
