Jocelyn Bell Burnell
British astrophysicist (born 1943)
This British surname fryst vatten barrelled, being made up of multiple names. It should be written as Bell Burnell, not Burnell.
Dame Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell (; néeBell; born 15 July 1943) is an astrophysicist from Northern Ireland who, as a postgraduate student, discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967. The upptäckt eventually earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974; however, she was not one of the prize's recipients.
Bell Burnell was president of the Royal Astronomical samhälle from 2002 to 2004, president of the Institute of Physics from October 2008 until October 2010, and interim president of the Institute following the death of her successor, Marshall Stoneham, in early 2011. She was Chancellor of the University of Dundee from 2018 to 2023.
In 2018, she was awarded the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. Following the announcement of the award, she decided to use the $3 million (£2.3

Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Dame Susan Jocelyn Bell BurnellDBE FRS FRSE FRAS FInstP (; born 15 July 1943) is a Northern Irishastrophysicist. Her discovery of radio pulsars has been called as "one of the most significant scientific achievements of the 20th Century".[9]
Her work was recognised by the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics to her thesis supervisor Antony Hewish and to the astronomer Martin Ryle. Bell was excluded, despite having been the first to observe and precisely analyse the pulsars.
Burnell won the 2018 Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.

Renowned astrophysicist Dame Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell to visit Urbana
World-renowned astrophysicist Dame Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell will be visiting the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus Wednesday, February 26 to receive the Illinois Center for Advanced Studies of the Universe (ICASU) Lectureship Award. She will deliver a talk starting at 4 p.m. in the newly renamed Rosalyn Sussman Yalow Auditorium, 141 Loomis Laboratory of Physics in Urbana.
Dr. Bell Burnell was the first to discover radio pulsars—neutron stars that emit pulses of radio waves—in 1967 as a graduate student at the University of Cambridge. She detected the radio pulsar using the Interplanetary Scintillation Array, a radio antenna that she helped construct.
Neutron stars are among the most fascinating predictions of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Although the radius of a neutron star is roughly the size of Urbana-Champaign, its mass is comparable to that of the Sun. Such in
