From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barbara Jones is an infrared astronomer . She is a professor emerita at the University of California, San Diego . [1]

Education and career [ edit ]

In the early 1970s, Jones worked with David Aitken at University College London in the Physics and Astronomy Department, formed in 1972 from the merger of two separate departments. [2] She completed her Ph.D. there in 1977, [3] under the supervision of Benjamin Michael Zuckerman [4] , and was affiliated with the University of Minnesota before joining the University of California, San Diego in 1980. [5]

Research [ edit ]

Jones's early work included infrared astronomy of Jupiter , [pub 1] of planetary nebulae , [pub 2] and of the Galactic Center . [pub 3] [pub 4] Her dissertation was Infrared spectral observations of the galactic centre and other celestial objects . [3] The research from later in her career included the development of a mid-infrared spectrometer for the W. M. Keck Observatory , [pub 5] and its use to observe the Einstein Cross , a gravitationally lensed quasar . [pub 6]

Recognition [ edit ]

Jones was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1994, after a nomination from the APS Division of Astrophysics, "for pioneering development of state-of-the-art infrared instrumentation, the design of the next generation of large telescopes, and their use to make forefront observations of infrared sources". [6]
