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.

(Cambridge, 2. VI. 1975, Poststempel), 12,5 x 7.5 cm. 1 Seite. In eigenh. adressiertem Umschlag. Hewish wurde 1974 zusammen mit Martin Ryle mit dem Nobelpreis für Physik für seine Rolle bei der Entdeckung der Pulsare ausgezeichnet. In der Folge wurde das Nobelkomitee heftig kritisiert, da Jocelyn Bell, die die eigentliche Entdeckerin war und in der Originalveröffentlichung der Entdeckung an zweiter Stelle nach Hewish genannt ist, leer ausging.
