Antony Hewish (born Fowey Cornwall May 11 ) is a British radio astronomer who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in for his role in the discovery of pulsars He entered the field of radio astronomy, working at the Cavendish Laboratory Cambridge , after war service in military radar research. Hewish made both practical and theoretical advances in the observation and exploitation of the apparent scintillations of radio sources due to their radiation impinging upon plasma This led him to propose, and secure funding for, the construction of a large array radio telescope at Cambridge in order to conduct a high resolution radio sky survey. In the course of this project, one of his graduate students, Jocelyn Bell , first noticed the radio source which was ultimately recognised as the first pulsar. The paper announcing the discovery had five authors, Hewish's name being listed first, Bell's second. The Nobel award to Hewish without the inclusion of Bell as a co-recipient was controversial, and was roundly condemned by Hewish's fellow astronomer Fred Hoyle

Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell
b. 1943
Astronomer The radio astronomer Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered the first pulsar (stars that release regular bursts of radio waves) in 1967. Introduction Susan Jocelyn Bell (Burnell) was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on July 15, 1943. Her father was the architect for the Armagh Observatory, which was close to their home. Her early interest in astronomy was encouraged by the observatory staff. She studied at the Mount School in York, England, from 1956 to 1961. She earned a B.S. in physics at the University of Glasgow in 1965. That same year, she began work on her Ph.D. at Cambridge University. There, under the supervision of Antony Hewish, she constructed and operated a 81.5 megaherz radio telescope. She studied interplanetary scintillation of compact radio sources. Bell Burnell detected the first four pulsars. The term "pulsar" is an abbreviation of pulsating radio star or of rapidly pulsating radio sources. Pulsars represent rotating neutron stars that emit brilliant flashes of electromagnetic radiation at each revolution, like beacons from a lighthouse. The observation of pulsars requires the use of radio telescopes. In 15 years, about 350 pulsars were found. Their pulse periods range from 33 microseconds to 4 seconds. A "fast" pulsar was discovered in 1982. Its short pulse period equals 1.5 microseconds. According to Joseph H. Taylor, Jr., "it has become clear that hundreds of thousands of pulsars must exist in the Milky Way Galaxy — most of them too distant to be detected with existing radio telescopes."

LEADERS OF SCIENCE
The Road To Pulsars: A Radioastronomer Gets His Start
By ANTONY HEWISH [Editor’s note: Born in Cornwall in 1924, the son of a bank manager and a farmer’s daughter, Antony Hewish always enjoyed doing things with his hands. As a boy, he made models, gunpowder, and fireworks; decades later, he put his skills to good use helping to build and maintain some of the early radiotelescopes. When Hewish first started listening for radio signals from space, radioastronomy was an unfashionable field. But it soon became glamorous—and Hewish’s pioneering experiments were among the prime reasons for the change. Working at Cambridge University, Hewish startled astronomers in 1967 with his discovery of the pulsating radio stars now known as pulsars, an exploit that won him a share (with Martin Ryle of Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory) of the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics. It was a major event in the history of science—the first time that astronomers had been honored for a contribution to physics. The story of the pulsar discovery, which emerged from the analysis of miles of pen recordings by Hewish’s graduate student Jocelyn Bell (now Burnell), has been told many times. Far lesser known is the tale of how Hewish first got involved with radioastronomy and tackled some of the early practical problems. In this story Hewish, who retired as director of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory at Cambridge, England, last year, recalls his postwar years in Cambridge.]
