Randich Maria Sofia - 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.

Sofia Randich gained her PhD in 1993 at the University of Firenze. Following her doctorate, she spent three years at the Max Planck Institute fuer Extraterrestrische Physik in Garching and two years at ESO Garching as a post-doc. She returned to Firenze in 1997. Now she is an associate astronomer at the INAF-Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri. Sofia Randich's main research interests focus on different aspects of star formation; stellar structure, properties, and evolution; formation and evolution of the Milky Way. These issues are mainly addressed by means of spectroscopy of members of young associations and Galactic open clusters. Sofia Randich is a member of the Gaia Science Team since autumn 2007 with the role of RVS scientist. [Published: 01/10/2010] |
