Perspectives for Determining Stellar Surface Parameters
Abstract
I present ideas of Gaia's impact on the determination of the properties of stars primarily connected to the study of their atmospheres. This mainly relates to effective temperatures, gravities and high-fidelity chemical abundances obtained by combining envisioned Gaia measurements with ground-based spectroscopy ranging from single objects to well-selected stellar populations. I further discuss the impact of Gaia on the study of the kinematics of atmospheric flows.
