IMAGE: Penn State The Warner Prize is awarded annually for a significant contribution to observational or theoretical astronomy during the five years preceding the award. It is given to an astronomer resident in North America who has not attained 36 years of age in the year designated for the award or must be within eight years of receipt of their doctorate. This is Dawson’s second AAS prize; she also received the Annie Jump Cannon Award in 2017 for her earlier work modeling the dynamical interactions of exoplanets in multiplanet systems. “I’m not surprised to see Bekki Dawson honored with another Society prize,” said AAS President Paula Szkody from the University of Washington. “She’s been a rising star in our field since her graduate student days.”
