Pasquier Jean-François - 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.

Jean-François Pasquier EADS-Astrium (Toulouse) |
|
Jean-Francois Pasquier is a member of the EADS Astrium team in Toulouse. Since 2008, he's been working on different scientific aspects of the payload module. He started by being responsible of the video processing algorithms implemented inside the Video Processing Unit (VPU), whose role is to detect, sort, track, and acquire in real time the 1 billion stars to be seen by Gaia. He also contributed to the global performance assessment of the payload module, and he's now in charge of the CCD radiation tests. These tests, defined together with DPAC, are intended to characterize the impact of the radiations on the e2v CCDs for the different instruments, and make sure that these effects can be efficiently calibrated on ground.
