Victoria M Kaspi and Chryssa Kouveliotou Receive the 2021 Shaw Prize in Astronomy
The Shaw Prize in Astronomy 2021 is shared equally by Victoria M. Kaspi, Professor of Physics and Director of McGill Space Institute, McGill University, Canada and Chryssa Kouveliotou, Professor and Chair, Department of Physics at George Washington University, USA for their contributions to our understanding of magnetars, a class of highly magnetised neutron stars that are linked to a wide range of spectacular, transient astrophysical phenomena. This prestigious award is one way in which the Shaw Prize Foundation seeks to promote astronomy, a mission shared by the IAU and one which the two organisations have ongoing collaborations to pursue.

The 2021 prize has been awarded to Marc Kamionkowski, UroЕЎ Seljak and Matias Zaldarriaga for the development of techniques for studying the Cosmic Microwave Background that have provided deep insights into the primordial Universe, as early as a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.
