(Joan Feynman) Wikipedia, April 30, 2014 (Joan Feynman; born March 31, 1927 in Far Rockaway, N.Y.; astrophysicist; studied at Oberlin College, Syracuse University and Columbia University. Feynman has made important contributions to the study of solar wind particles and fields; sun-Earth relations; and magnetospheric physics. She is known for developing an understanding of the origin of auroras, for creating a model that predicts the number of high-energy particles likely to hit a spacecraft over its lifetime, and for uncovering a method for predicting sun spot cycles. Her brother is physicist Richard Feynman) |
