Limitations No special processing for binary stars (but a poor astrometric solution is marked clearly) Colour photometry has lower spatial resolution (a quality control flag is provided) Poor completeness at faint magnitudes in crowded regions Need to apply various filters to clean up sample (but do it wisely, e.g., don t just cut off negative parallaxes [see Luri+ for a discussion]) [Arenou+ ]
Dynamics of Milky Way globular clusters Internal: rotation, velocity dispersion and anisotropy profiles: Rotation signatures from radial velocities [e.g., Fabricius+, Kamann+ 17] now complemented by proper motion (PM) data [HST: Bellini+, Watkins+ 1; Gaia: Bianchini+ ] Velocity anisotropy determined directly from PM Velocity dispersion profile in the outskirts, potential escapers [e.g., Claydon+ 17] External: 3d center-of-mass velocity data: galactic orbits [e.g., Helmi+ ], tidal effects possible correlations in phase-space distribution (cluster pairs) dynamical tracers of Milky Way potential

Complementary instruments and surveys Astrometry (mainly proper motions): Gaia: down to G = 21, but only in the outer parts; central regions severely limited by crowding. + Provides absolute proper motions in the global reference frame (subject to systematic uncertainty of mas/yr). Hubble (HSTPROMO: Bellini+, Watkins+ 1, Sohn+ ): + performs well even in crowded regions; + precision comparable or better than Gaia (baseline 1 yr); + goes down to 26 mag in outer regions; much smaller FoV (3 ); PMs are relative (don t provide mean motion and rotation), unless enough background galaxies are used to anchor them. Ground-based: superseded by Gaia for all practical purposes.
Complementary instruments and surveys Radial velocities: Gaia: down to G 13 (improved by 3 mag towards the end of mission), but for the entire sky (8 9% compleness except dense regions). Ground-based: several magnitudes deeper, but more limited spatial coverage. Chemistry, stellar parameters: Gaia: T eff, R, L, log g down to G 17 in DR2 based on parallax and broad-band photometry only (G, BP, RP); will be improved in future data releases with low-res spectroscopy from BP/RP. Ground-based spectroscopy: produces much more information. Photometry: Gaia cross-matches with several other surveys (2MASS, SDSS, PanSTARRS, RAVE) is provided in DR2.
Future data releases DR3 (late ), DR4 (end 22): binary stars; BP/RP and RVS spectra; improved calibration, PSF modelling, etc.; better treatment of crowded regions; extended spectroscopic templates for hotter/cooler stars; variable star classification and lightcurves; epoch astrometry ( 3 observations for each star). Mission extension from nominal years up to years: parallax error T 1/2, PM error T 3/2!
