TheBruno Rossi Prizeis awarded annually by the High Energy Astrophysics division of theAmerican Astronomical Society"for a significant contribution to High Energy Astrophysics, with particular emphasis on recent, original work".[1]Named after astrophysicistBruno Rossi,the prize is awarded with a certificate and a gift of USD $500, and was first awarded in 1985 toWilliam R. FormanandChristine Jones Forman"for pioneering work in the study of X-ray emission from early type galaxies". It has been awarded 40 times. In 2010, the prize was awarded toWilliam B. Atwood,Peter Michelsonand theFermi Gamma-ray Space Telescopeteam "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 toRoger W. RomaniofLeland Stanford Junior UniversityandAlice HardingofGoddard Space Flight Centerfor their work in developing the theoretical framework underpinning the many exciting pulsar results fromFermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.
