Klement Rainer - 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.

Rainer Klement finished his PhD in October 2008 at the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie (MPIA), where he was working on stellar phase-space substructure in the Solar neighborhood and the identification of stellar streams in RAVE and SDSS data. Motivated by the promises of the Gaia mission, in particular for Milky Way science, he joined Coryn Bailer-Jones' group at MPIA as a postdoc in November 2008. Rainer is working on the classification of Gaia sources and calibration of the astrophysical parameters. Rainer's science interests include Milky Way structure and dynamics, exoplanets and brown dwarfs. Besides that he is an active triathlete and mountaineer with a theoretical interest in sports medicine and research. He left Gaia in December 2010. [Published: 17/02/2009 | Updated: 19/01/2011] |
