Krone-Martins 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 Krone-Martins is a PhD student working on a double diploma between Brazil (Universidade de São Paulo) and France (Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Bordeaux), under the direction of Christine Ducourant (Bordeaux) and Ramachrisna Teixeira (São Paulo). Before starting on Gaia, he worked on Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays during a master under Gustavo Medina Tanco (UNAM, México) supervision. After finishing his master thesis, he received a scholarship from the European Union Alfa-II program to spend some months at the Universitat de Barcelona, where he started working on Gaia in the implementation of the JStuff unresolved galaxy catalogue simulation code. Nowadays, he works on the analysis of the surroundings of Gaia targets (CU5) and of extended objects, such as compact galaxies (CU4). Also, as a part of his PhD, he collaborates with Caroline Soubiran (Bordeaux) in the study of methods for open cluster analysis based on the full space of kinematical and photometrical parameters. Outside the academic world, even if his main hobby is amateur astronomy and outreach - where he is involved with some activities of the IYA2009 (as the Cosmic Diary) and the CASP (Clube de Astronomia de São Paulo) - he tries to keep a wide range of interests such as music composing, typography, diplomacy history, computing, arts. And from time to time he gets back to his roots and sits in his piano for a good old "play it Sam, play As time goes by". [Published: 05/06/2008] |
