context_page_description: Bernard Flood Burke was an American astronomer. He co-discovered radio emission from Jupiter, and was part of the team that discovered the first Einstein ring in 1988.
context_section_description: Burke and Kenneth Franklin discovered Decametric radio emissions from Jupiter in 1955 using the Mills Cross Array, while they were trying to observe the Crab Nebula. He searched for gravitational lenses, and was one of a 6-person team that discovered the first Einstein Ring in 1988.
  He also researched exoplanets, and worked on both ground- and space-based VLBI.
  He co-authored Introduction to Radio Astronomy, a textbook that has had three editions, with Francis Graham-Smith.
  Jansky Lecturer at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), 1998 He donated his papers, some linear 16.5 feet (5.0 m) in size, to the NRAO archives in July-September 2011.
