Aucklanders will have a unique opportunity to listen to an eminent astro-physicist who is currently visiting New Zealand this month.
Dr Rajaram P Kane is an astro-physicist and an authority in cosmic physics. Dr Kane graduated from Banaras Hindu University in 1944 and completed his Ph.D. from Bombay University. He worked closely with such eminent Indian scientists as Dr Vikram Sarabhai at the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad. Dr Kane operated the first Indian high altitude cosmic ray vertical meson telescope at Kodaikanal in southern India.
Dr Kane was awarded Fulbright & Smith-Mundt Fellowship and worked with Prof. J. A. Simpson at the Institute for Nuclear Studies, University of Chicago, USA, in 1953-54. He showed for the first time that cosmic ray diurnal variation had a 27-day recurrence tendency. He has published in peer reviewed journals on a number of topics on astronomy and astro-physics. Over 300 of his works have been published. He has been with the National Institute of Space Research, Brazil for the last several decades.
He will be speaking at Onehunga in Auckland (see details below) on the “Sun-Earth relationship” addressing a lay audience in non-technical terms for the benefit of all. He will provide some interesting extracts and stories of research in this field.
The lecture is free for all to attend.
