1.8 billion stars, searched.
Laplace searches ESA's Gaia DR3 at full scale and puts what it finds on a star map.
The answer is in the catalogue. The catalogue is too large to read.
Gaia DR3 measures 1.8 billion stars. Most studies sample a fraction, because searching it all takes more than a laptop and a weekend.
Laplace searches the whole catalogue for hidden companions, logs every candidate and shows them on a star map anyone can explore.
What we deliver.
- Search catalogues at full scale, such as 1.8 billion stars in Gaia DR3.
- Publish the candidates on a star map anyone can explore.
- Log every search so the result can be run again.
How it works.
- Read
- We read the full public catalogue, not a sample.
- Search
- The method is fixed before the search starts.
- Show
- Candidates go on the map, marked as candidates.
