Morbidelli Roberto - 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.

Roberto Morbidelli Astronomical Observatory of Torino |

Roberto Morbidelli is, since 1981, a staff scientist at the Astronomical Observatory of Torino. Roberto's main scientific interest is in astrometry and his expertise covers primarily the design and realization of astronomical data bases and archive infrastructure aimed at treating huge amounts of astronomical heterogeneous data. Prior to his involvement with Gaia Roberto contributed to the Italian activities during the Hipparcos mission, building some useful tools for object matching between existing astronomical catalogues and the double stars data from Hipparcos. He has also participated in the importation and maintainance of the Guide Star Catalogue I inside the DIRA data base and during the past 10 years has collaborated in the Guide Star Catalogue II project (database and catalogue realization). Roberto is currently a member of CU3 (Core Processing) and CU4 (Object Processing). Prior to the dissolution of the working groups he was an associate member of the Planetary Systems Working Group (PSWG)and an associate member of the Double and Multiple Stars Working Group. During that time he contributed to the effort to quantify Gaia's abilities in the detection of extra solar planets and he was involved in the double-blind tests conducted by the PSWG in order to provide a meaningful assessment of Gaia's extrasolar planet-finding capabilities using realistic analysis procedures.
