Another colloquia today at @icc-ub.bsky.social. Tanja Hinderer talk "Probing subatomic physics with gravitational waves from binary neutron stars binary inspirals"

But we are not yet done, we are busy working for the next Gaia data releases, DR4 and DR5.

Stay tuned for a lot of new science!

The mood was strange. Quoting David Milligan, Spacecraft Operations Manager, we were feeling "a bit of sadness and a lot of pride". 🧵

I have shared this event with part of the UB Gaia team, the rest following from Barcelona.

The ceremony was closed by some speeches highlighting all the work done by several amazing teams, keeping the satellite active and squeezing the last bit of data and science from it. 🧵

We have witnessed how step by step the Gaia systems where switched off, until the last command was sent and the signal from Gaia was lost.

For the occasion @esa.int has organized an event at its site in Darmstadt, ESOC, where the Gaia mission control was located. 🧵

After eleven years of operations Gaia had exhausted the cold gas of its attitude thrusters and could no longer control its attitude. 🧵
March 27, 2025 at 7:27 PM
Today Gaia has been finally and completely deactivated ("passived" in operations jargon). Quite a few of the Gaia community have gathered at ESOC for the event, myself among them. 🧵

Preparant-nos per celebrar el 8M. Acte a la @ub.edu amb debat sobre la igualtat, la diversitat, els reptes que afrontem i el perill de retrocés.

Today we have started a new edition of the @icc-ub.bsky.social winter meeting. A good opportunity to learn what the groups of the institute have been doing in their (many) fields of work!

Seguirem treballant encara uns anys, tot i que sense el nostre estimat satèl·lit. Gracies per tot Gaia, bon viatge!
