## Green et al. (2019) – A 3D Dust Map Based on Gaia, Pan-STARRS 1 and 2MASS

We present a new three-dimensional map of dust reddening, based on Gaia parallaxes and stellar photometry from Pan-STARRS 1 and 2MASS. This map covers the sky north of a declination

## Zucker et al. (2019) – A Large Catalog of Accurate Distances to Local Molecular Clouds: The Gaia DR2 Edition

We present a uniform catalog of accurate distances to local molecular clouds informed by the Gaia DR2 data release. Our methodology builds on that of Schlafly et al. (2014). First,

## Ortiz-León et al. (2018) – Gaia-DR2 confirms VLBA parallaxes in Ophiuchus, Serpens and Aquila

Abstract We present Gaia-DR2 astrometry of a sample of YSO candidates in Ophiuchus, Serpens Main and Serpens South/W40 in the Aquila Rift, which had been mainly identified by their infrared

## Grossschedl et al. (2018) – 3D shape of Orion A from Gaia DR2

We use the $\mathit{Gaia}$ DR2 distances of about 700 mid-infrared selected young stellar objects in the benchmark giant molecular cloud Orion A to infer its 3D shape and orientation. We

## Marrese et al. (2018) – Gaia Data Release 2. Cross-match with external catalogues – Algorithms and results

Context. Although the Gaia catalogue on its own is a very powerful tool, it is the combination of this high accuracy archive with other archives that will truly open up
