		In collaboration with her husband, Geoffrey Burbidge, who is also a distinguished astronomer, she has investigated the composition and evolution of stars, the nature of quasars, and the properties of galaxies, among other astronomical phenomena.
		(The university does not have a separate department of astronomy; the Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences is part of the Department of Physics.) Because of a school policy designed to avoid nepotism, Margaret was accepted as a member of the Department of Chemistry, while holding the title of associate research physicist.
		In 1972 Burbidge was awarded the Annie J. Cannon Prize from the American Astronomical Society, but she refused to accept it, on the ground that since that honor was awarded only to women, its existence represented just the sort of discrimination she had long worked so hard to eliminate.
