Four Pillars of Radio Astronomy: Mills, Christiansen, Wild, Bracewell Paperback / softback
by R. H. Frater, W. M. Goss, H. W. Wendt
Part of the Astronomers' Universe series
Paperback / softback
Description
This is the story of Bernie Mills, Chris Christiansen, Paul Wild and Ron Bracewell, members of a team of radio astronomers that would lead Australia, and the world, into this new field of research.
Each of the four is remembered for his remarkable work: Mills for the development the cross type instrument that now bears his name; Christiansen for the application of rotational synthesis techniques; Wild for the masterful joining of observations and theory to elicit the nature of the solar atmosphere; Bracewell for his contribution to imaging theory.
As well, these Four Pillars are remembered for creating a remarkable environment for scientific discovery and for influencing the careers of future generations.
Their pursuit of basic science helped pave the way for technological developments in areas ranging from Wi-Fi to sonar to medical imaging to air navigation, and for underpinning the foundations of modern cosmology and astrophysics.
