- Author contribution statement
- This paper reports the 100x improvement provided by Gaia over previous measurements of the motions of satellite structures around the Milky Way. Among other findings this determined a lower mass limit for the Milky Way. Cropper’s contribution to this work was through his high level of responsibility in the Gaia mission over 17 years, including membership on the Gaia Science Team and oversight in the top-level technical reviews for the satellite development. The importance of his contributions to the provision of all of the data and consequent science from Gaia is recognised by his high position on the author list.
