ESA Science & Technology - Gaia and Exoplanets: GREAT Synergies on the Horizon

Start date: 05 Nov 2012
Address: Archivio di Stato di Torino,(Turin National Archives), Torino, Italy

This GREAT-ESF workshop will bring together scientists involved in the field of extrasolar planets, with a three-fold goal: a) to review the Gaia multi-faceted contribution to the field, within 1 year from launch, b) to discuss the synergy potential between Gaia and other ongoing and planned, space-borne and ground-based programs for planet detection and characterization, and ultimately c) to provide the seeds for the realization of across-techniques, legacy programs which will fully exploit the scientific impact of Gaia data in exoplanets astrophysics.
