Michael J. Irwin is a British astronomer. He is the director of the Cambridge Astronomical Survey Unit and one of the discoverers of the Cetus Dwarf galaxy and the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy.[1][2][3][4][5]
Research
Irwin is known worldwide for the leading role he plays in processing of digital optical and infra-red survey data. Currently, his efforts in processing of digital optical and infrared survey data of Vista Data Flow are being used for processing United Kingdom Infrared Telescope data.[6]
Awards and honours
In 2012, Royal Astronomical Society awarded Dr. Irwin the 2012 Herschel Medal, which recognises investigations of outstanding merit in observational astrophysics.[7] Mike Irwin has also made contributions in the scientific community by writing and helping write several books.[3]
List of discovered minor planets
According to the Minor Planet Center's official discoverer list, Irwin co-discovered 8 minor planets during 1990–1996.[8]
