AAS Rossi Prize
Jan, 2013
Recipient:
Alice K Harding (663)
The award is made jointly to Alice and Dr Roger Romani from Stanford
University. The citation reads "To Alice K Harding and Roger W. Romani for
establishing a theoretical framework for understanding gamma-ray pulsars."
Fellow of the American Physical Society
Dec, 2012
Recipient:
D Kazanas (663)
Dr Demos Kazanas is named as a Fellow of the American Physical Society. The
citation reads "For diverse contributions to Astrophysics, ranging from a
1980 independent resolution, of the cosmological horizon problem using the
vacuum energy of spontaneously broken gauge theory -- to the recent idea
that AGN appearance depends on the properties of MHD winds launched from
their accretion disks."

John C. Lindsay Memorial Award for Space Science
05.30.2008
Recipients:
John G Baker (663), Joan M Centrella (660)
The Lindsey award is presented to John Baker and Joan Cenbrella for their groundbreaking research in the simulation of the gravitational wave signature from the final stages of the merging black holes.
Theoretical work is not often honored by the Lindsay award; most of the awards are presented for observational discoveries made with new NASA missions. The work by Centrella and Baker is of special importance to NASA, since the work is a strong driving force for the design of the LISA mission. Knowledge of the gravitational waveforms now provides a strong basis for mission requirements. So, this work, while being heralded as a breakthrough in the gravitational physics community, is also of vital importance to the development of a NASA mission.
