UCL astrophysicist honoured for Uranus and Jupiter discoveries
Dr Dunn was awarded the 2022 Henry Moseley Medal and Prize, which recognises “exceptional early-career contributions to experimental physics”. The award citation noted his discovery of X-rays coming from Uranus – the first time such an emission has been detected – as well as his work identifying the fundamental processes that cause Jupiter to produce X-ray aurorae (aurorae are emissions of light from a planet’s polar regions and on Earth they are known as the northern lights).
