AURA Achievement Awards (1Jun92)
(from the AURA Corporate Office, NOAO Newsletter No. 30, 1 June 1992)

"And the winners are" Nick Suntzeff (CTIO) for science and Al Fowler
(KPNO) for service! They receive a certificate of appreciation and a
cash award.

Suntzeff received the AURA Award for Outstanding Science for his work
on the bolometric luminosity evolution of SN 1987A. He measured and
recorded its bolometric light curve to enable analysis of the energy
radiated by the supernova in comparison with theoretical predictions.
Suntzeff has also done outstanding research on stellar populations in
our own and Local Group galaxies.

Fowler received the AURA Award for Outstanding Service for his efforts
in the development of infrared arrays at KPNO. Fowler helped write the
specifications for the first 58 x 62 InSb arrays and has provided KPNO
with a series of state-of-the-art instruments for both imaging and
spectroscopy.

Congratulations!

Goetz Oertel
