Today (March 3, 2011) is the memorial day of the world-renowned astronaut Venkataraman Radhakrishnan, the son of Nobel Laureate C.V.Raman.
Venkataraman Radhakrishnan was born on May
18, 1929, in a paddy field near Chennai. Father Nobel Laureate CV.Raman. Radhakrishnan
studied in Chennai and later earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the
University of Mysore. He was married to Fran-is-Dominique. Radhakrishnan's
father is Nobel laureate, SV Raman. The scholar who followed the last one firmly
that he should not be in the shadow of his father's fame. Radhakrishnan was the
Vice-President of the International Astronomical Union from 1988-1994. Before
that, he was the Chairman of the International Radio Astronomical Union, Group
Che (Radio Astronomy) from 1981-1984.
Radhakrishnan is well respected in many
scientific forums and colleges worldwide. He worked as a foreign consultant for
the Netherlands Radio Astronomy (Radio Astronomy). The Australian Telescope
National Facility Regulatory Committee has participated in numerous committees
such as the Green Bank Radio Telescope of the United States and the National
Radio Astronomy Advisory Group. He has been selected as a Foreign Fellow at the
Swedish Academy of Science and the American Science Foundation (National
Science Academy).
Upon his return to India in 1972,
Radhakrishnan took over as director of the Raman Research Institute and held
the position until 1994. In 1996, the University of Amsterdam honoured Dr
Honoris Causa with a doctorate degree. He is also famous for building very
light flying vessels and boats. He began his studies in the field of
electronics (Receivers) and then studied the fields of polarization and
polarization. As a result, it was able to detect the radiations emanating from
Jupiter's bands, such as the Van Allen Belt, and to first know the rotation of
Jupiter's black hole.
The symmetry of the 21 cm waves emitted by
the hydrazine atoms through the Zeeman effect of the magnetic field. Similarly,
the measurements of the wavelengths of the waves emanating from the Velar
Pulsar helped to detect the magnetized cycles of the neutron star.
Radhakrishnan has published more than 80 papers in scientific journals and
international journals. He is also the co-editor of a treatise on supernovae. He
chaired the Faculty of Applied Physics and Astronomy. World-renowned astronomer
Venkata Raman Radhakrishnan left the world on March 3, 2011, at the age of 81.
