2012 AAS |
Kepler Participating Scientist Eric B. Ford was awarded the 2012 American Astronomical Society Helen B. Warner Prize for his theoretical and computational research in the field of extrasolar planets, including ground-breaking work on the dynamical evolution of planetary systems and planet formation. This work has established the importance of gravitational scattering within exoplanet systems, quantified the uncertainty in exoplanet orbits, led to immediately useful and testable observational predictions, and aided the efficient design of new exoplanet searches.
