Eilers Christina - 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.

Christina is a trainee at the Research and Scientific Support Department at ESTEC from September until December 2011. She works under the supervision of Jos De Bruijne about F. Mignards 'Hundred Thousand Proper Motion' Project. The aim of her project is to determine which of the stars measured by the Hipparcos Mission, that are going to be measured by Gaia again, need to have a precisely measured radial velocity in order to determine the proper motion of the star accurately. Christina has received her Bachelor's degree in Physics from the University of Goettingen in July 2011. After her internship at ESTEC she is going to continue her studies. [Published: 19/12/2011] |
