19 August 2004
Recognising the challenge posed by the Gaia data analysis, the Netherlands organisation for scientific research (NWO) has awarded a grant of 364,000 Euro in support of preparations for Gaia photometric data analysis.The award will fund a study, led by Anthony Brown (Leiden University), to advance the plans for the analysis of the photometric data from the Gaia satellite. In addition, and in collaboration with DutchSpace (a company with experience in the application of grid technology to large-scale problems), the study will explore how grid technology can be applied to a realistic, large and complex astronomical investigation, such as that posed by the photometric analysis.
