Passages:
Bulletin of the American Astronomical Society ("BAAS"; "Bull.  Am.  Astron.  Soc.")  is the journal of record for the American Astronomical Society established in 1969.  It publishes meetings of the society, obituaries of its members, and scholarly articles.  Four issues are published per year that are collected into a single volume. The Astronomical Journal (often abbreviated "AJ" in scientific papers and references) is a peer-reviewed monthly scientific journal owned by the American Astronomical Society and currently published by IOP Publishing.  It is one of the premier journals for astronomy in the world.  Until 2008, the journal was published by the University of Chicago Press on behalf of the American Astronomical Society.  The reasons for the change were given by the society as the desire of the University of Chicago Press to revise its financial arrangement and their plans to change from the particular software that had been developed in-house.  The other two publications of the society, the "Astrophysical Journal" and its supplement series, followed in January 2009. Neb Duric (born 1955) is a Serbian-born American astrophysicist.  He received his PhD in astrophysics in 1984 from the University of Toronto, where he earned the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Gold Medal for academic excellence.  After a postdoc at University of British Columbia he moved to University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, where he stayed for many years as a professor of physics and astronomy.  He is a member of American Astronomical Society and Canadian Astronomical Society.  He has co-authored over 100 scientific papers.  He wrote a textbook "Advanced Astrophysics" published by Cambridge University Press in 2003. Kenneth I. Kellerman (born 1937) is an astronomer at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.  He is best known for his work on quasars.  He won the Helen B. Warner Prize for Astronomy of the American Astronomical Society in 1971, and the Bruce Medal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in 2014. Beatrice Muriel Hill Tinsley (27 January 1941 – 23 March 1981) was a British-born New Zealand astronomer and cosmologist whose research made fundamental contributions to the astronomical understanding of how galaxies evolve, grow and die. Heather A. Knutson is an astrophysicist and assistant professor at California Institute of Technology in the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences.  Her research is focused on the study of exoplanets, their composition and formation.  She won the American Astronomical Society's Newton Lacy Pierce Prize in Astronomy for her work in exoplanetary atmospheres. <ref name="https://aas.org/grants-and-prizes/newton-lacy-pierce-prize-astronomy">American Astronomical Society: Newton Lacy Pierce Prize in Astronomy | American Astronomical Society, accessdate: June 15, 2016</ref> Andrew Fraknoi is an astronomy professor at Foothill College and the 2007 California Professor of the Year awarded by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.  Fraknoi also won the Astronomical Society of the Pacific's 2007 Richard H. Emmons award, the American Institute of Physics's 2007 Andrew Gemant Award (given for a lifetime of contributions to the intersection of physics and culture), and the American Astronomical Society's 1994 Annenberg Foundation Award (for a lifetime of contributions to astronomy education.)  The International Astronomical Union has named Asteroid 4859 Asteroid Fraknoi to recognize his contributions to science education and to the public understanding of astronomy.  In 2013, he was elected to the Board of Trustees of the Friends of the Lick Observatory. Isabel Martin Lewis (July 11, 1881 – July 31, 1966) was an American astronomer who was the first woman hired by the United States Naval Observatory as assistant astronomer.  In 1918, Lewis was elected a member of the American Astronomical Society.  She was also a member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. The Beatrice M. Tinsley Prize is awarded every other year by the American Astronomical Society in recognition of an outstanding research contribution to astronomy or astrophysics of an exceptionally creative or innovative character.  The prize is named in honor of the cosmologist and astronomer Beatrice Tinsley. Daniel Johnston is an American neuroscientist, having held the Karl Folkers Chair in Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research at University of Texas at Austin.  He is a member of the Royal Astronomical Society and American Astronomical Society and International Astronomical Union.
