An Indian American professor of physics at MIT, Deepto Chakrabarty, has won the 2006 Bruno Rossi Prize along with two others for his pioneering study on neutron stars. Chakraborty shares the 1500 US dollars award given each year by the High Energy Astrophysics Division of the American Astronomical Society (AAS), with Tod Strohmayer of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Rudy Wijnands of the University of Amsterdam.
The prize is named after the late Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Professor Emeritus Bruno Rossi. The prize is awarded "for a significant contribution to High Energy Astrophysics, with particular emphasis on recent, original work." The prize includes an engraved certificate.
