18 Stellar and galactic Physics :: too much to say New astrophysical text books for the 2020s : What is the mass of the heaviest stars? What is the rate of formation of stars in the milky way? What are the cooling sequence and the LF of the white dwarfs? Are brown-dwarfs common in binary systems? Are all stars ultimately variable? Are M, T eff, log g, [Fe/H] enough to make a star? How often a planetary system is found in binary systems? Are massive stars still forming in the galactic halo? Where does the halo come from? Is there dark matter out there? - 18

24 Quasars and reference frame The inertial frame Gaia will detect and measure the position of ~ 400,000 QSOs They will be identified with photometric filtering + astrometry This will improve the current survey by a factor ~ A clean subset (free of stars) can be constructed The Gaia sphere will be rigidly attached to the EG sources N qso = galactic coordinates 0.5 µas/yr 24

26 Key questions for the distance scale Two major indicators Cepheids with PL, SNe Ia LMC is the keystone for calibration Standard PL : M v = log P 1.46 M I = log P 1.87 (Madore & Freeman, 1991) M v = log P 1.79 M I = log P 2.12 (Udalski, from OGLE 1999) Slope and zero point from LMC with µ = But there are indications that : Galactic Cepheids behave differently the PL relation depends on the metallicity Not a single relation applies to all periods Gaia will bring much light there with. 26

30 Modelling and Methodology : big incentive Development of sophisticated tools of general interest Big effort to model the astrometry at the µas level Relativistic framework from the start Improved concepts around PM, parallax, radial velocity Developments of several extinction models Orbit determination over short arcs The data processing is a real challenge Developpement of numerical tools for automatic classification Application of powerful statisticial methods to a wide range of problems Efficient algorithms are tested to search for periods in time series Set up of a data base of consistent astronomical and physical data 30
