Today was day two of the Gaia Hike at UBC. The results of yesterday's discussions and hacking were discussed in the morning and then we moved to tutorials about how to use the ESA Gaia data responsibly. From my own personal perspective, the highlight was a big tutorial from George Seabroke (UCL) on the high-resolution RVS spectra. His presentation went through all the properties and issues with the data, including things like overlapping spectra on the focal plane. It was really impressive, incredibly useful, extremely detailed, and an amazing representation of how complex and challenging a mission like Gaia is. Congratulations to the entire DPAC for pulling this off!
