ESOblog - Celebrating female role models in astronomy and engineering

ESOblog
Which role models inspired some of ESO’s astronomers and engineers and why
The achievements and influence of these inspirational female role models in science and engineering
To mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we spoke to astronomers and engineers at ESO to find out who their female role model in science or engineering is and how they inspired them in their careers. We highlight those inspiring figures in this blog post.
Margaret Burbidge

My favourite female role model is the astronomer Margaret Burbidge, says Paola Amico, a system engineer for the Extremely Large Telescope instruments. Margaret Burbidge was one of the founders of stellar nucleosynthesis, the now well-established theory that chemical elements are formed by nuclear fusion within stars. She later worked on galaxy rotation curves and quasars, discovering the most distant astronomical object then known. ....

LâOrÃ©al-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards honour five women researchers in mathematics, astrophysics, chemistry and informatics
On the International Day for Women and Girls in Science, celebrated on 11 February, UNESCO and the L OrÃ©al Foundation honoured five women researchers in the fields of astrophysics, mathematics, chemistry and informatics as part of the 23rd International Prize for Women in Science.
On this occasion, UNESCO published a global study on gender equality in scientific research. Entitled To be smart, the digital revolution will need to be inclusive, it shows that although the number of women in scientific research has risen to one in three, women remain a minority in mathematics, computer science, engineering and artificial intelligence. Every year, women write as many scientific articles as men, but their chances of appearing in prestigious journals are lower. While w ....

Observations of lithium and potassium around white dwarf stars point to remains of rocky planet crusts
Analysis by astronomers led by University of Warwick shows chemical composition of crusts is very similar to Earth s continental crust
The outer layers of the white dwarfs contain up to 300,000 gigatonnes of rocky debris, which includes up to 60 gigatonnes of lithium and 3,000 gigatonnes of potassium ....

With the help of the international Gemini Observatory, a Program of NSF s NOIRLab, and other ground-based telescopes, astronomers have confirmed that a faint object discovered in 2018 and nicknamed Farfarout is indeed the most distant object yet found in our Solar System. The object has just received its designation from the International Astronomical Union.
Farfarout was first spotted in January 2018 by the Subaru Telescope, located on Maunakea in Hawai i. Its discoverers could tell it was very far away, but they weren t sure exactly how far. They needed more observations. ....

Globular clusters are extremely dense stellar systems, in which stars are packed closely together. They are also typically very old the globular cluster that is the focus of this study, NGC 6397, is almost as old as the Universe itself. It resides 7800 light-years away, making it one of the closest globular clusters to Earth. Because of its very dense nucleus, it is known as a core-collapsed cluster. ....
