Preliminary Gaia Results When ?

In summary, preliminary data from esa gaia is expected to be made public in summer 2016, with a specific target for stars in the Hipparcos Catalogue. The publication timeline may be delayed slightly due to minor complications, but the analysis efforts are ongoing. The latest update suggests a "data dump" on September 14, which should include interesting information about measurements such as distance to HIP 85605 and others.

Do we have any indication of when preliminary data from esa gaia will be made public ? It is a few months behind schedule due to minor complications and such.

I am particularly interested in seeing its measure of distance to HIP 85605 among others.

Thanks.

Measurements might be a bit behind schedule, but I think the publication timeline is mainly driven by analysis efforts. This page claims to stay up-to-date.
