Masana Eduard - 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.

Eduard Masana Universitat de Barcelona |
|
Eduard Masana works at the Universitat de Barcelona, Spain. His activity in Gaia is devoted to developing the Gaia System Simulator (GASS), which simulates the telemetry stream generated by the on-board instruments. This telemetry is used, among other things, to check the Global Iterative Solution (GIS) performances or to test compression algorithms. This work is closely related to the Gaia Data Access and Analysis Study (GDAAS), where GIS is being implemented. Eduard is a core member of the Simulations Working Group. As an astronomer, he works also in the determination of the stellar parameters of dwarf stars. [Published: 21/02/2005] |
