The Future of Astrometry in Space [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018 This contribution focuses on the importance of astrometry and on its future developments. Over the centuries astrometry has greatly contributed to the advance of the knowledge of the Universe. Nowadays a major breakthrough is on the way due to astrometric sky surveys from space. ESA space missions Hipparcos first and then Gaia point out the outstanding

Gaia: The Astrometry Revolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015 The power of micro-arcsecond ($\mu$as) astrometry is about to be unleashed. ESA's Gaia mission, now headed towards the end of the first year of routine science operations, will soon fulfil its promise for revolutionary science in countless aspects of ...

Exoplanet search with astrometry [PDF]
New Astronomy Reviews, 2009 Searching for extrasolar planets by direct detection is extremely challenging for current instrumentation. Indirect methods, that measure the effect of a planet on its host star, are much more promising and have indeed led to the discovery of nearly all ...
