Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The ESA Gaia mission is revolutionizing many areas of Astrophysics and the goal of this Seminar is to make students familiar with Gaia and aware of the many opportunities opened by this transformational mission.

Assessment and permitted materials

In this Seminar, a student will present a recent refereed paper using Gaia data and will stimulate a discussion by pointing out aspects she/he finds interesting and clear, as well as aspects she/he does not understand. Following the presentation, the class will discuss the paper's results critically.

Assessment of students performances will consist of two main parts:
(1) 30%: active participation during the Seminar
(2) 70%: presentation of a recent Gaia paper presentation

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Participation: students will be required to attend at least 75% of the seminars

Assessment criteria: Clarity in the presentation, critical thinking statements, and participation in the discussion.

Examination topics

Reading list

Students will be provided with a list of recent Gaia papers for them to chose. Students are encouraged to present papers on topics of their interest, even beyond the papers suggested . For special interests Gaia topics (instrumentation, statistical and data science methods papers) not in the suggested list, contact the Seminar responsible first.
