The American Astronomical Society has selected Professor Charlie Conroy to receive the Helen. B. Warner Prize for 2017.
The Helen B. Warner Prize is given annually for a significant contribution to observational or theoretical astronomy during the five years preceding the award, to an astronomer who has not attained 36 years of age in the year designated for the award or who is within eight years of receipt of his or her Ph.D. degree. Your citation reads:
“The AAS awards Dr. Charlie Conroy the Helen B. Warner Prize for Astronomy for his work in modeling...
Research interests: X-ray studies of galaxy clusters and their applications for cosmology and physics of the intergalactic medium. The main past projects...
Research Interests: His cosmology research focuses on observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) to reveal signatures of the physics that drove the birth of the universe, the creation of its structure, and its present-day expansion. His research over the past two decades has involved the design, deployment, and operation of multiple generations of radio telescopes at the Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole....
