Antiche Erika - 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.

Erika started working in the Gaia Team at the UB in March 2012. She worked as a software developer for the Gaia Object Generator (GOG) of CU2. She focused mainly on the validation of the error models of photometry, spectroscopy and physical data, their improvements, and also technical issues and supporting users. She obtained her B.Sc. Degree in Computer Engineering in November 2011 from the Universidad Centroccidental "Lisandro Alvarado" in Venezuela. Before this, she was working in the development and implementation of a database of hundreds of RR Lyrae stars discovered by Kathy Vivas and Cecilia Mateu in the Centro de Investigaciones de Astronomía, Mérida, Venezuela. Also, she was trained as an observer in the Schmidt telescope belonging to the Observatorio Llano del Hato, also located in Venezuela. Erika left Gaia in 2016. [Published: 29/01/2013] |
