The Discovery of Pulsars
Visiting Professor of Astrophysics, University of Oxford
First-hand account of building a four-acre dipole radio telescope at Cambridge and spotting the faint 1.33-second 'scruff' on chart paper that revealed rapidly spinning neutron stars.
We are continuing our online presentations with the Discovery of Pulsars presentation. Our guest is Jocelyn Bell Burnell who discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967. Prof. Bell Burnell has extraordinary contributions to astronomy ever since. Besides the academic work, she also chaired the Royal Astronomical Society, Institute of Physics, and Royal Society of Edinburgh. Professor Jocelyn Bell Burnell has been awarded the prestigious Royal Astronomical Society Gold Medal which is the Society's highest honour.
