Kontizas Mary - 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.

Mary Kontizas works at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, in Greece. Since 2004 she is the coordinator of the ATHENOGAIA project. This is a programme awarded by the Greek Secretariat of Research and Technology for the participation of a group of Greek astronomers in the preparation of the Gaia mission ( see news item 2004-10-20 ). The Greek group consists of researchers from the University of Athens, the National Technical University of Athens and the National Observatory of Athens. Members of the group have participated in Gaia's Photometry, Classification, Simulation and Double & Multiple Stars working groups, and they are now active within several coordination units in the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC). Mary is involved in the European Leadership in Space Astrometry (ELSA) programme as the Scientist in Charge at the Department of Astrophysics, Astronomy and Mechanics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Mary's own research interests include observational extragalactic astronomy, evolution and dynamics of globular clusters, star forming regions in the Magellanic Clouds, stellar populations in galaxies, and initial mass function.
