CU Boulder astrophysicist Ann-Marie Madigan has taken home a prestigious prize in recognition of her research exploring the dynamics of objects in space—from stars circling black holes to icy dwarf planets in the outer solar system.
This week, the American Astronomical Society (AAS) Division on Dynamical Astronomy (DDA) awarded Madigan its 2021 Vera Rubin Early Career Prize. The scientist, an assistant professor in the Department of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences and a fellow at JILA, will present a lecture at the 53rd annual DDA meeting in spring 2022.

Research Areas
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
