Anthony R. Michaelis was a science journalist who coined the term 'pulsar' in the Daily Telegraph after speaking to Hewish and his assistant Jocelyn Bell about their discovery of pulsating stars, the story of which is recounted on page 158. Hewish was a radio astronomer who developed a large phased array radio telescope which led to the discovery of pulsars for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1974. His Nobel Lecture 'Pulsars and High Density Physics' is featured in 'Les Prix Nobel en 1974'. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

Contemporary full buckram with printed title on the spine. = This discovery of pulsars was made at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory, Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge and was reason for the Nobel Committee to grant Antony Hewish the Nobel Prize in physics. "One of his PhD students, Jocelyn Bell, noted the radio source which was ultimately recognised as the first pulsar. The paper announcing the discovery had five authors, Hewish's name being listed first, Bell's second. Hewish and Martin Ryle were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974 for work on the development of radio aperture synthesis and its role in the discovery of pulsars. The Nobel award to Ryle and Hewish without the inclusion of Bell as a co-recipient was controversial, and was roundly condemned by Hewish's fellow astronomer Fred Hoyle" (Wikipedia).
