Extractions: I was born in Fowey, Cornwall, on 11 May 1924, the youngest of three sons and my father was a banker. I grew up in Newquay, on the Atlantic coast and there developed a love of the sea and boats. I was educated at King's College, Taunton and went to the University of Cambridge in 1942. From 1943-46 I was engaged in war service at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough and also at the Telecommunications Research Establishment, Malvern. I was involved with airborne radar-counter-measure devices and during this period I also worked with Martin Ryle. Returning to Cambridge in 1946 I graduated in 1948 and immediately joined Ryle's research team at the Cavendish Laboratory. I obtained my Ph.D. in 1952, became a Research Fellow at Gonville and Caius College where I had been an undergraduate, and in 1961 transferred to Churchill College as Director of Studies in Physics. I was University Lecturer during 1961-69, Reader during 1969-71 and Professor of Radio Astronomy from 1971 until my retirement in 1989. Following Ryle's illness in 1977 I assumed leadership of the Cambridge radio astronomy group and was head of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory from 1982-88.

Extractions: (b. May 11, 1924, Fowey, Cornwall, Eng.), British astrophysicist who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974 for his discovery of pulsars (cosmic objects that emit extremely regular pulses of radio waves). Hewish was educated at the University of Cambridge and in 1946 joined the radio astronomy group there led by Sir Martin Ryle . While directing a research project at the Mullard Radioastronomy Observatory at Cambridge in 1967, Hewish recognized the significance of an observation made by a graduate assistant, Jocelyn Bell. He determined that the regularly patterned radio signals, or pulses, that Bell had detected were not caused by earthly interference or, as some speculated, by intelligent life forms trying to communicate with distant planets but rather were energy emissions from certain stars. For this work in identifying pulsars as a new class of stars, he was awarded jointly with Ryle the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974, the first time the prize had been given for observational astronomy. Hewish was professor of radio astronomy at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, from 1971 to 1989.

Hewish, Antony hewish, antony (1924). English radio astronomer who was awarded, with Martin Ryle,the nobel Prize for Physics 1974 for his work on pulsars, rapidly rotating http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/H/Hewish/1.html
Extractions: Before 1950, Hewish used radio telescopes mainly to study the solar atmosphere. When new instruments became available, radio observations were extended to sources other than the Sun. Before the discovery of pulsars, Hewish examined the fluctuation in such sources of the intensity of the radiation (the scintillation) resulting from disturbances in ionized gas in the Earth's atmosphere, within the Solar System, and in interstellar space.
The Glass Ceiling Biographies - Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell The nobel Prize controversy is detailed in Nicholas Wade, Discovery of Pulsars Onpulsars, see antony hewish, Pulsars in Scientific American (October 1968); A http://www.theglassceiling.com/biographies/bio9.htm
Extractions: Astronomer The radio astronomer Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered the first pulsar (stars that release regular bursts of radio waves) in 1967. Introduction Susan Jocelyn Bell (Burnell) was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on July 15, 1943. Her father was the architect for the Armagh Observatory, which was close to their home. Her early interest in astronomy was encouraged by the observatory staff. She studied at the Mount School in York, England, from 1956 to 1961. She earned a B.S. in physics at the University of Glasgow in 1965. That same year, she began work on her Ph.D. at Cambridge University. There, under the supervision of Antony Hewish, she constructed and operated a 81.5 megaherz radio telescope. She studied interplanetary scintillation of compact radio sources. Bell Burnell detected the first four pulsars. The term "pulsar" is an abbreviation of pulsating radio star or of rapidly pulsating radio sources. Pulsars represent rotating neutron stars that emit brilliant flashes of electromagnetic radiation at each revolution, like beacons from a lighthouse. The observation of pulsars requires the use of radio telescopes. In 15 years, about 350 pulsars were found. Their pulse periods range from 33 microseconds to 4 seconds. A "fast" pulsar was discovered in 1982. Its short pulse period equals 1.5 microseconds. According to Joseph H. Taylor, Jr., "it has become clear that hundreds of thousands of pulsars must exist in the Milky Way Galaxy — most of them too distant to be detected with existing radio telescopes."

Jocelyn Bell However, in 1974, it was antony hewish who received a nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of pulsars .(Martens, 1996) Despite considerable documentation http://aci.mta.ca/courses/physics/1001/Misc/StudentPapers97/Bell.html
Extractions: Gender equality in science is a frequently discussed issue in today's society. An enormous amount of progress is being made by women in areas in which they were previously under-represented. One such example is the work of Jocelyn Bell in the field of astrophysics. As a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1967, Bell discovered evidence of a new type of star in our galaxy called pulsars. Prior to this, pulsars, or pulsating neutron stars, had only been a theory, and this evidence established a foundation from which to expand and verify the theory. Due to scientific hierarchies and reward systems, however, the work and discovery was accredited to Bell's professor, Antony Hewish, thus creating a veritable astronomical injustice in the form of the Jocelyn Bell story. Pulsars served to prove this theory of star rotation. Perhaps the greatest verification comes from the Crab Nebula. Documented by Chinese astronomers in 1054, a supernova explosion created the luminous remains known as the Crab Nebula.(Stellar Evol., p.54) The source for the luminosity was unknown until the presence of a high density pulsar was discovered near its centre. The rate of rotation of this galactic object is about 33 ms, which is much quicker than the average pulsar period of 1.34 seconds.(Hewish, p.740) To be rotating at such a fast speed, the star had to be extremely compact. However, with such pulse precision and energy output, the star also had to be extremely massive. A high density star would allow for both characteristics, and the detection of the Crab Nebula pulsar thus helped to substantiate the claims for a rotating star.

Extractions: Em 100 anos de Nobel, quantas mulheres ganharam o prêmio de Física? Apenas duas: Maria Sklodowska Curie e Maria Goeppert Mayer. Alguém pode dizer que isso reflete o pequeno número de mulheres na comunidade de físicos. É verdade. Basta olhar as fotos das conferências de Solvay e contar quantas mulheres aparecem. Congressos de Física costumam ter centenas de homens e meia dúzia de mulheres. E essas, via de regra, são descaradamente ignoradas pelos colegas, a menos que sejam físicas com belos físicos. E, como se não bastasse essa desvantagem numérica, o comitê do prêmio Nobel ainda consegue piorar o quadro mostrando, aqui e ali, sua face chauvinista. Pelo menos em três casos, a injustiça cometida pelo comitê com brilhantes cientistas do melhor sexo foi gritante. A história de uma delas já contei por aqui. Logo após a segunda guerra, o prêmio pela descoberta da fissão nuclear foi dado a Otto Hahn, preterindo Lise Meitner que trabalhara com Hahn mas fora obrigada a deixar a Alemanha nazista por ser judia.
