Bruno Rossi Prize

The Bruno Rossi Prize is awarded annually by the High Energy Astrophysics division of the American Astronomical Society "for a significant contribution to High Energy Astrophysics, with particular emphasis on recent, original work".[1] Named after astrophysicist Bruno Rossi, the prize is awarded with a certificate and a gift of USD $500, and was first awarded in 1985 to William R. Forman and Christine Jones Forman "for pioneering work in the study of X-ray emission from early type galaxies". It has been awarded 32 times. In 2010, the prize was awarded to William B. Atwood, Peter Michelson and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope team "for enabling, through the development of the Large Area Telescope, new insights into neutron stars, supernova remnants, cosmic rays, binary systems, active galactic nuclei, and gamma-ray bursts". In 2013, the prize was awarded to Roger W. Romani of Leland Stanford Junior University and Alice Harding of Goddard Space Flight Center for their work in developing the theoretical framework underpinning the many exciting pulsar results from Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.

List of winners
gollark: ```lualocal function update() local h, err = http.get("https://pastebin.com/raw/whatever") if not h then printError(err) return end local f = fs.open("startup", "w") f.write(h.readAll()) f.close() h.close()end```
gollark: It's better to use HTTP and FS directly.
gollark: This is also not a great way to do autoupdate. I have code somewhere, hold on.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: What that will do, I think, is run the `pastebin get` bit, which will then download the file to `temp`, then delete `temp`, then it'll exit.
