Rainer Monica - 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.

Monica Rainer is a member of the Coordination Unit 5's DU13 team since January 2020, and she works on the advanced reduction steps of the Spectro-Photometric Standard Stars (SPSS) used for the flux calibration of the Gaia data. Her research topics focus mainly on exoplanet atmosphere characterization, stellar variability studies, spectroscopic time-series analysis, and software writing for spectroscopic reduction and analysis. She has been and is still currently involved in several space missions (Gaia, Ariel, PLATO, CoRoT) and ground-based instrumentation teams (MOONS, HIRES, WEAVE, LOCNES, GIARPS). Monica graduated in Physics from the University of Milan in 2003, and she obtained her PhD from the same institute in 2007. She worked as a post-doc at the Astronomical Observatory of Brera (Milan) until end of 2017, and then she moved to the Astrophysical Observatory of Arcetri, where she currently works.
