Crifo Françoise - 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.

Françoise Crifo works at Paris Observatory, Meudon, now as emeritus astronomer, within the CU6-RVS group. Her main contribution is the elaboration of the lists of candidate standard stars for the RVS calibration, on the whole sky and near the ecliptic poles. Before that, she worked since 1983 for the Hipparcos Input Catalogue consortium, mainly with Catherine Turon and Ana Gómez; she defined the so-called "Survey", and made the inclusion in the Hipparcos Catalogue of a good part of the "problem stars", at a time where digitised surveys did not exist.
