The Gaia second Data Release (DR2) presents a first mapping of full-sky RR Lyrae stars and Cepheids observed by the spacecraft during initial 22 months science operations. Specific Object Study (SOS) pipeline, developed to validate fully characterise (SOS Cep&RRL) Gaia, has been presented in documentation papers accompanying Release. Here we describe how SOS pipeline was modified allow for processing multiband (G, G_BP G_RP) time series photometry all-sky candidate variables produce specific...

We pursue a classification Galactic extra-galactic objects that are detected as variable across whole sky. Supervised machine learning (eXtreme Gradient Boosting Random Forest) was employed to generate...

Gaia DR3 publishes a catalogue of full-sky RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) observed during the initial 34 months science operations, that were processed through Specific Object Study (SOS) pipeline for Cepheids and RRLs (SOS Cep&RRL) by Gaia. The SOS Cep&RRL validation candidate relies on tools include Period (P) G-amplitude diagram P-phi21 -phi31 parameters G light curve Fourier decomposition, based sample bona fide known (Gold Sample). processing led to 271779 listed in vari_rrlyrae table DR3.

Context. Cepheids are pulsating stars that play a crucial role in several astrophysical contexts. Among the different types, Classical fundamental tools for calibration of extragalactic distance ladder. They also powerful stellar population tracers context Galactic studies. The Gaia Third Data Release (DR3) publishes improved data on collected during initial 34 months operations. Aims. We present DR3 catalogue all obtained through analysis carried out with Specific Object Study (SOS) Cep&RRL...
Context. The European Space Agency spacecraft Gaia is expected to observe about 10 000 Galactic Cepheids and over 100 Milky Way RR Lyrae stars (a large fraction of which will be new discoveries), during the five-year nominal lifetime spent scanning whole sky a faint limit G = 20.7 mag, sampling their light variation on average 70 times.
The second $Gaia$ Data Release (DR2) contains astrometric and photometric data for more than 1.6 billion objects with mean $G$ magnitude $<$20.7, including many Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in different evolutionary stages. In order to explore the YSO population of Milky Way, we combined DR2 database WISE Planck measurements made an all-sky probabilistic catalogue YSOs using machine learning techniques, such as Support Vector Machines, Random Forests, or Neural Networks. Our input 103...
