De Angeli Francesca - 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.

Francesca De Angeli completed her PhD at the Astronomy Department of the University of Padova (Italy) at the end of 2004. During her PhD she worked on photometry and radial velocity data of Galactic globular clusters. She has been also developing a new technique to determine accurate distances and ages of globular clusters through axisymmetric modelling of their internal dynamics. Francesca is now a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge (UK). There she is collaborating with Floor van Leeuwen on the preparation of a software tool-box, aimed at providing basic algorithms for future shell and core tasks for the Gaia data analysis. She is also involved with the Simulation and Photometry working group activities. [Published: 28/02/2005] |
