Bendjoya Philippe - 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.

Philippe Bendjoya has been involved in asteroid science since completing his PhD in 1993. After some early work on identification of asteroid families, he has mostly concentrated on photometric, spectroscopic and polarimetric observations of these bodies. Philippe is a member of CU4 and CU8 and is particularly interested in the classification of asteroids according to taxonomic type. The surface mineralogy characteristics of these small bodies will be obtained by spectroscopic observations and these data will be analyzed by clustering methods that he is developing and testing. Philippe works at L.U.A.N (Laboratoire Universitaire d'Astrophysique de Nice) in U.N.S.A (Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis) where he also teaches physics and astronomy. Philippe left Gaia in 2018.
