Jocelyn Bell Burnell

Jocelyn Bell Burnell is from a family who believes in the importance of good education.

Jos Limbert was born in Northern Ireland in 1943. Her father is an architect who likes to read books. Joslin often borrows his father's book. By reading, Joslin became interested in astronomy.

Jocelyn Bell went to the British boarding school between 1956 and 1961. After graduating boarding school she got a degree in physics from the University of Glasgow. In 1965, she became a graduate student at Cambridge University in the UK. When she was a student in Cambridge, she helped build a large radio telescope. This telescope is quite large, and you can install 57 tennis courts on land covered with a telescope. In 1967 when she was a student, Joslin began using the telescope. She collects information from the telescope in the form of strip lines and marks. Joslin studied hundreds of kilometers of paper. Joslin found an amazing discovery by paying close attention to the differences in strip lines. She found a signal of Pulsar

Jos Limbert got a doctorate. In radio astronomy in 1968, she won many medals, awards and honors at work in astronomy.

Joslin Belbern, an astrophysicist in Northern Ireland, discovered a graduate student at the University of Cambridge and Pulsar - "High Speed ​​Rotation, Ultra High Density, Collapsed Star". Under the guidance of a paper consultant Antony Hewish, Burnell spent several years helping in the creation of a large radio telescope. When the telescope started up and worked, Burnell noticed that data anomalies became pulsars. Bernell was the first person to discover the anomaly and was listed as the second author in 1968. Nonetheless, in 1974, only Hewish and his colleague Martin Lyle received the Nobel Prize in Physics. Many scientists criticized Barnell's omission, but Burnel himself was only a graduate student, he said that the decision is correct. Time, hence by her boss

In 1967, Belbernell (then Joslin Bell) was a graduate student at the University of Cambridge in England. One day in November she noticed that the data gathered by the radio telescope that she and her paper director Antony Hewish helped set up a bit strange - it was repeated every 1.3 seconds . Researchers eventually decided that these signals came from a high-speed rotating neutron star died of a supernova explosion. These objects are called "pulsars" and are a combination of "pulses" and "quasars". (Quasar, the incredibly bright galaxy nucleus is the target of the new radio telescope's Bell Burnell and Hewish.

After 50 years, after discovering the pulsar - a compact rotating star radiating radiation, the astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell won an innovative award of 3 million dollars, one of the most useful scientific awards . Bell Burnell, 75, was approved by the breakthrough committee as a special award in basic physics, honoring her scientific achievements and "emotional leadership" over the past 50 years.
