Crowley Cian - 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.

Cian Crowley joined the Gaia Project Scientist's Support Team at ESTEC in November 2009. His role within the Gaia team deals with the analysis of data from various radiation tests on the spacecraft CCD detectors. This is performed with a view to determining the optimum Gaia operating strategy to minimise the effects of radiation damage on the detectors and also implementing a strategy for calibration in the on-ground data processing. Previously, Cian has worked predominantly on space-based observations of red giant and symbiotic binary stars. This work took place at Trinity College Dublin, where he obtained his PhD, and subsequently worked as a research fellow. [Published: 30/11/09] |
