de Felice Fernando - 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.

Fernando de Felice is a core member of the Relativity and Reference Frame Working Group (RRFWG) of Gaia. His main task is to lead the RAMOD project to completion. This project is aimed at developing a numerical code which will take into account the general relativistic effects (due to the Sun and to most of the Solar System planets and their largest satellites) required to correct the Gaia observations in order to achieve microarcsecond accuracies. The RAMOD project is a joint collaboration with Beatrice Bucciarelli, Maria Teresa Crosta, Mario Lattanzi and Alberto Vecchiato of Torino Observatory. Fernando de Felice is working in the fields of general relativity and astrophysics. His current position is full professor of theoretical physics at the University of Padova (Italy). Fernando retired from Gaia DPAC in 2018 [Published: 24/01/2005] |
