  • Gruber Foundation Formed at Yale Yale Joins Sloan Digital Sky Survey
    Yale University Astronomy Department Newsletter Vol. 3 Fall 2011 No. 1 Yale joins Sloan Digital Sky Survey III Yale is now a fully participating member of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) Collaboration. Although Yale was not a member during the first two phases of SDSS, the suc- cess of SDSS and the excitement of Yale astronomers about the projects and data of SDSS-III led Yale to join now. Based on citations in refereed articles and meeting abstracts, SDSS has been rated as the telescope project with the biggest sci- entific impact in history, beating out even the Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Telescopes (c.f. Madrid, Juan P. and Macchetto, Duccio 2009arXiv0901.4552M). The previous incarnations of SDSS have imaged 13,000 square degrees, corresponding to about a third of the en- tire sky. SDSS-III is taking spectra of interesting objects that were found in these images, through a program of four sur- veys that cover three scientific themes. The Baryon Oscil- lation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) studies dark energy and the geometry of space. (SEE SDSS-III, p. 4) SDSS-III Data Release 8 image from January 2011 Gruber Foundation formed at Yale with prizes and fellowships in astronomy and cosmology In May of 2011, Patricia and Peter Gruber officially formed the Gruber Founda- tion at Yale University, dedicated to the advancement of science, support of young scientists, global justice, and women’s rights. The Gruber Foundation at Yale will succeed The Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation, originally estab- lished in 1993, and carry on its philanthropic mission, including its prestigious annual science prizes.

It is simply a resource for educators and students who wish to begin exploring the challenges and triumphs of women of the past and present. It’s also an opportunity to get to know the lives and work of some of the key women who have overcome prejudice and exclusion to make significant contributions to our field. We only include a representative selection of living women astronomers about whom non-technical material at the level of beginning astronomy students is easily available. Lack of inclusion in this introductory list is not meant to suggest any less importance. We also don’t include Wikipedia articles, although those are sometimes a good place for students to begin.

Join us in celebration of these prestigious awards at the ASP Awards Gala (Ceremony and Banquet) on November 9, 2019, at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel, Burlingame, CA. Astronomical Society of the Pacific • 390 Ashton Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112 • tel. (415) 337-1100 Maria and Eric Muhlmann Award The Maria and Eric Muhlmann Award recognizes significant observational results made possible by innovative advances in astronomical instrumentation, software, or observational infrastructure. The 2019 recipient of the Muhlmann Award is Dr. Mark J. Reid, Senior Radio Astronomer at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a pioneer in the use of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and in the development of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). Among his numerous achievements in radio astronomy made over the course of his career, Dr. Reid is being recognized for his unique use of VLBI to study the intense radio emissions coming from excited molecules, also known as astrophysical masers, to make incredibly accurate distance measurements to both nearby and distant galaxies. Reid also used this technique to make detailed, 3-dimensional measurements of our own Milky Way Galaxy’s and its elusive center, a feat earning him the deep respect of his peers.

    Excerpts from an Interview with Henrietta Hill Swope1 by David DeVorkin, August 3, 1977 at the Hale Observatories, Santa Barbara State Section I: Early Life, Education, and Interest in Astronomy Swope: When I was young, I became interested in looking at the stars. This is when I was about 10 or 12, and I took William Tyler Olcott’s book. It’s a little book about finding stars or something. Constellations. And I used to go out and identify the constellations. Especially in the summer, because the winter was too cold. …. DeVorkin: So your first touch with the stars then was [in New Brunswick, NJ]? Swope: Through my own thing. Then I guess — well, I always was interested in the stars, and then, we went to Nantucket in the summer time, and Margaret Harwood was the astronomer there, at the Marin Mitchell Observatory, and she had lectures at the Observatory. We’d go down from Wauwinet and my oldest brother and myself, I’m the oldest in the family, then my oldest brother, we usually rode down on horses. It was about a nine mile trip down and nine miles back. DeVorkin: Where did you live on Nantucket? Swope: Oh, we were up at Wauwinet, Nantucket. I heard Dr. Harlow Shapley talk. She would invite Dr. Shapley down. He gave a lecture that excited me very much, about the universe and about his finding the globular clusters all in one place and their place around the Milky Way, the center of our galaxy. DeVorkin: Could you recall the approximate year, give or take a few years, that you heard this lecture? Swope: I think about — probably around 1917.

  • Biography Robert Williams Is Currently Astronomer Emeritus at Space
    Prof. ROBERT WILLIAMS - Biography Robert Williams is currently Astronomer Emeritus at Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, and Distinguished Osterbrock Professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz. From 1993-98 he served as Director of the Institute, which with Goddard Space Flight Center operates Hubble Space Telescope for NASA and ESA. Before assuming his present positions Williams spent 8 years in Chile as Director of the Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory, the national observatory of the U.S. in the southern hemisphere. Prior to that time he was Professor of Astronomy at the University of Arizona in Tucson for 18 years. Dr. Williams' research specialties include novae, nebulae, and emission-line spectroscopy and analysis. Williams received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1962, and a Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Wisconsin in 1965. He was Senior Fulbright Professor at University College London from 1972-73, and received the Alexander von Humboldt Award from the German government in 1991. In 1998 he was awarded the Beatrice Tinsley Prize of the American Astronomical Society for his leadership of the Hubble Deep Field project, which revealed in remarkable detail the evolution of galaxies in the early universe. For this project he was awarded the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal in 1999. Dr. Williams is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and is a Past- President of the International Astronomical Union. In 2016 he was awarded the Karl Schwarzschild Medal for career achievement in astrophysics by the German Astronomische Gesellschaft. He is a strong advocate for science education and has lectured around the world on astronomical discoveries and the importance of science in modern life.

These journeys to and from distant shores are still in the minds and memories of the elder grandparent teachers of the Waitaha people. It is impossible to convey to you the enormous privilege it is to be here to speak with the permission of the Waitaha grandmothers of today and to tell you something of the reverence with which they relate to Astronomy. So I have come with their stories, from the ends of the earth to put the small community of 450 people at Tekapo and its Ob- servatory on the world stage. First though, in line with Maori tradition and protocol, I need to tell you something of my whakapapa, my genealogy.

One of the more effective tools that I have found for capturing the interest of non-scientists has been approaching astronomy through its influence on the humanities.
