  Jocelyn Bell Burnell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jocelyn Bell Burnell, CBE, FRS FRAS (born Susan Jocelyn Bell, 15 July 1943), British astrophysicist and Quaker who discovered the first radio pulsars with her thesis advisor Antony Hewish.
After finishing her PhD, Bell Burnell worked at the University of Southampton, University College London and the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, before becoming Professor of Physics at the Open University for ten years, and then a visiting professor at Princeton University.
Before retiring Bell Burnell was Dean of Science at the University of Bath between 2001 and 2004, and was President of the Royal Astronomical Society between 2002 and 2004.

 Professor Jocelyn Bell Burnell FRS - Spectrum of astronomy
Jocelyn Bell Burnell was made a Fellow of the Royal Society for her considerable contributions to astronomy including her role in the discovery of pulsars whilst still a post graduate student at Cambridge.
Jocelyn Bell Burnells involvement with the discovery during her Ph.D. work in Cambridge in 1968 was the start of a series of contributions to new astrophysics and space science across the electromagnetic spectrum in what she describes as her "portfolio career".
Jocelyn was the only women in her physics undergraduate class at Glasgow University in the early 1960s.

 Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Susan Jocelyn Bell was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on July 15, 1943.
Bell's first two years at Cambridge were spent assisting in the construction of an 81.5-megahertz radio telescope that was to be used to track quasars.
It was Jocelyn Bell's job to operate the telescope and to analyze over 120 meters of chart paper produced by the telescope every four days.

 Astronomer Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered pulsars, not aliens
Jocelyn Bell Burnell is an astronomer who briefly thought she had actually made contact with extraterrestrial beings.
Burnell was working with advisor Anthony Hewish at the time of the discovery.
Burnell was responsible for the telescope's operation and for studying the data it gathered.

 Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Bell recognized that the source changed its position in the sky from day to day at the same rate as the stars, proof that it was not a man-made signal.
Jocelyn was married in 1968 and had a son and was married several years but has subsequently divorced.
Today Jocelyn concerns and efforts are directed towards the advancement of astronomy and she is deeply involved in the teaching and public understanding of physics and astronomy.
