(previous year’s Fellows
here)
Castor, John Irvin
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Citation: For ground-breaking work on radiatively-driven stellar winds, and
contributions to the theory of opacities, equations-of-state, and radiation
hydrodynamics, including national security applications in high energy-density
physics.
DeYoung, David Spencer
National Optical Astronomy Observatory
Citation: For numerous and important contributions to the theory of extragalactic
radio sources, in particular to the understanding of the evolution of astrophysical
jets and their interactions with their environment.
Dodelson, Scott
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
Citation: For his fundamental contributions in cosmology, including the theory
and analysis of physics models of the early Universe.
Klein, Richard I
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Citation: For pioneering contributions in computational astrophysics including
star formation, radiatively driven stellar winds, instabilities in supernovae
and magnetized neutron stars, and scaled laser experiments simulating strong
shock phenomena in the ISM.
Meyer, Stephan S
University of Chicago
Citation: For his pioneering use of bolometers to study the anisotropy
of the cosmic microwave background and his measurements of CMB anisotropy
on
scales
from 0.1 to 90 degrees.
Wefel, John P
Louisiana State University
Citation: For measurements of cosmic ray isotopic and elemental composition
and interaction cross sections, and efforts to foster astrophysics-related
training,
public outreach, and education programs.
