2022 - Research.com Best Female Scientist Award
2020 - Hans A. Bethe Prize, American Physical Society For pioneering work in conceiving and executing the first focusing telescope in the high energy X-ray regime, NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) satellite. NuSTAR has enabled major advances in understanding phenomena in the most extreme environments in the universe.
2014 - Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
2014 - Member of the National Academy of Sciences
2011 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For fundamental contributions in gammaray, Xray, and optical observations of gammaray bursts, active galaxies, and black hole systems
Her main research concerns Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Gamma-ray burst and Afterglow. Her Astrophysics study typically links adjacent topics like Spectral line. Her study on Quasar is often connected to Context as part of broader study in Galaxy.
Her Gamma-ray burst research incorporates elements of Shock wave, Jet, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Gamma ray and Light curve. Her work carried out in the field of Afterglow brings together such families of science as Extinction, Collimated light, Swift and Event. Her studies examine the connections between Neutron star and genetics, as well as such issues in Pulsar, with regards to Galactic Center.
Fiona A. Harrison mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Spectral line and Telescope. Astrophysics is represented through her Luminosity, Active galactic nucleus, Redshift, Gamma-ray burst and Neutron star research. Her Active galactic nucleus study incorporates themes from Supermassive black hole and Torus.
She interconnects Spectroscopy, Ionization and Emission spectrum in the investigation of issues within Galaxy. She combines subjects such as X-ray, Black-body radiation and Photon with her study of Spectral line. Her research integrates issues of Observatory and Sky in her study of Telescope.
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Neutron star, Active galactic nucleus, Spectral line and Galaxy. Astrophysics and X-ray are commonly linked in her work. Her Neutron star research integrates issues from Scattering, Light curve, Ultraluminous X-ray source and Eddington luminosity.
Her Active galactic nucleus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Redshift, Spectroscopy, Supermassive black hole and Torus. Her study looks at the intersection of Spectral line and topics like Photon with Electron temperature. Her study on Galaxy is covered under Astronomy.
Fiona A. Harrison mostly deals with Astrophysics, Accretion, Neutron star, Pulsar and Spectral line. Astrophysics and Ionization are frequently intertwined in her study. Her study in Accretion is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Telescope, X-ray binary, X-ray, Black-body radiation and Emission spectrum.
Her work deals with themes such as Luminosity and Magnetosphere, which intersect with Pulsar. Her Spectral line research incorporates themes from Gravitation, Absorption spectroscopy, Black hole and Photon. Galaxy is a subfield of Astronomy that Fiona A. Harrison tackles.
