Max Pettini (original) (raw)
Max Pettini (born 15 June 1949) is a professor of observational astronomy at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge. Pettini was born in Rome but studied for a BSc in physics then a PhD in astrophysics at University College London. He has worked in the UK ever since, apart from four years at the Anglo-Australian Observatory in Epping, New South Wales from 1987 to 1991, and has British citizenship. His early research obtained observational evidence that verified a prediction that our galaxy is surrounded by a halo of hot ionised gas.

Pettini nasceu em Rome mas estudou física com PhD em astrofísica no University College London. Trabalhou depois no Reino Unido, mas passou quatro anos no Observatório Astronômico Australiano em , Sydney, de 1987 a 1991, e tem cidadania britânica. Suas conclusões observacionais de início de carreira evidenciaram que a Via Láctea é envolvida por um véu de plasma quente. Pettini foi laureado com a Medalha Herschel de 2008 da Royal Astronomical Society. Em maio de 2010 foi eleito fellow da Royal Society. (pt) |
