The library collates Gaia conference proceedings, selected reports, papers, and articles on the Gaia mission as well as public DPAC documents. The right-hand menu provides arXiv.org/astro-ph and ADS search links for peer-reviewed papers on scientific topics covered by Gaia. A list of Gaia acronyms, which is maintained by Jos de Bruijne, is available online.

Livelink is the document management system used for scientific documents from Gaia. Livelink is password protected: DPAC users with personal Gaia user name and password may access Livelink once they have logged on to MyPortal.

Gaia: Composition, Formation and Evolution of the Galaxy
This document is the Gaia Concept and Technology Study Report (CTSR), limited to the scientific case on which the mission was accepted within ESA's scientific programme. For the record, the full Gaia Concept and Technology Study Report (ESA-SCI(2000)4), published in July 2000, as well as ESA's glossy Gaia brochure (ESA BR-163), published in August 2000, are available too. An associated summary paper has been published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, Volume 369, 339-363 (2001) and in the ESA Bulletin 103 (August 2000). Note that the technical design details in these documents have been superseded, although the essential design objectives remain unaffected.
