Pauwels Thierry - 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.

Thierry Pauwels studied mathematics, with specialisation Astronomy, at the University of Ghent, where he got his PhD in 1987. Since 1984 he works at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in the section of Astrometry of Solar System objects, where he perpetuated the astrometric observations of asteroids initiated in the 1920 at the Royal Observatory. He is also responsible for the publication of the Yearbook of the Observatory with ephemerides and celestial phenomena, and for the digitisation projects at the Royal Observatory. He became a member of the Gaia Solar System Working group shortly before it was absorbed in CU4. He then became DU leader of DU454 "Astrometric reduction of Solar System Objects". Developing the software for DU454 has now become his main activity. [Published: 1/12/2011] |
