Gaia DR2 documentation Chapter 2: Astrometric and photometric pre-processing
Abstract
This chapter of the Gaia DR2 documentation describes the models and processing steps used for pre-processing the raw Gaia data before the basic observables (or astrometric elementaries, sometimes referred to as AstroElementaries) can be generated and passed on to the Gaia core astrometric solution which is discussed in Chapter 3. The input to Gaia data processing is the raw satellite telemetry and an attitude star catalogue to allow a first reconstruction of the attitude of Gaia.
