Cellino Alberto - Gaia
Gaia contributors
Gaia was proposed in 1993 and since then, many people have been involved in the Gaia mission, whether at ESA, at industry side or at one of the institutes involved in the Gaia data processing. The Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC) is a collaboration which consists of around 450 scientists and engineers.
The list of Gaia contributors presented here should not be considered a complete representation of the entire consortium and should not be considered as a list of currenly active people on the Gaia mission. A more complete list of Gaia contributors that were involved in the creation of the Gaia catalogues can be obtained from the author lists of the Gaia Collaboration overview papers (for Gaia Data Release 1 see here, for Gaia Data Release 2 see here, for Gaia Early Data Release 3 see here, for the full Gaia Data Release 3 see here, for Gaia Focused Product Release see here). A history of contributions to the Gaia mission can be found from the acknowledgements given with each data release.

Alberto Cellino is a core member of the Solar System Working Group (SSWG), where he is responsible for the task of exploiting Gaia photometric data of asteroids for deriving information about spin rates and orientations, as well as overall shapes, of these objects. For these purposes, he has developed some algorithms, which are currently being tested by means of suitable simulations and applications to Hipparcos data. A graduate of the University of Torino, he is currently Astronomer at the INAF - Torino Astronomical Observatory. He is a well known expert on the physical properties of minor planets, particularly concerning the role played by collisions in the overall evolution of the asteroid population. Alberto is currently the Chairman of the Minor Planets Working Group of IAU Commission 15. [Published: 14/03/2005] |
