Hanbury Brown

Distinguished for his contributions in radio and optical astronomy. He was responsible for many of the radio astronomical programmes and instrumental developments at the University of Manchester. In particular should be mentioned his development, with R.Q. Twiss, of the theory and practice of a completely new instrument, the Intensity Interferometer. Using this, he and his colleagues have made the first direct measurements of the angular sizes of early type stars.
