The Shaw Prize in Astronomy 2024 (with English Subtitle)

【The Shaw Prize in Astronomy 2024】 Throughout his career, Professor Kulkarni has made a sustained series of fundamental discoveries in time-domain optical and radio astronomy. As a student, he and his collaborators discovered the first millisecond pulsar, a rapidly rotating neutron star that emitted precisely spaced pulses over 600 times per second. Known millisecond pulsars now number in the hundreds. They are the most precise astronomical clocks in the universe, and are used to test Einstein’s general theory of relativity and to look for gravitational waves from merging supermassive black holes. The Shaw Prize in Astronomy 2024 is awarded to Professor Shrinivas R Kulkarni, for his ground-breaking discoveries about millisecond pulsars, gamma-ray bursts, supernovae, and other variable or transient astronomical objects. His contributions to time-domain astronomy culminated in the conception, construction and leadership of the Palomar Transient Factory and its successor, the Zwicky Transient Facility, which have revolutionised our understanding of the time-variable optical sky. ****** #shawprize #shawprize2024 #shawprizelaureate2024 #astronomy #ztf ‪@caltech‬
