Hilary Cane - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hilary Vivien Cane
Born	1949
Alma mater	University of Tasmania
Spouse	William C. Erickson
Scientific career
Thesis	Non-thermal galactic background radiation (1977)

Hilary Cane is planetary scientist known for her research on solar energetic particles.

Education and career

Cane earned her Ph.D. in radio astronomy from the University of Tasmania in 1978.^[1] In 1979, following her Ph.D., she joined the National Aeronautics and Space Agency's Goddard Space Flight center to work on the International Cometary Explorer.^[1] The data from her work provided evidence for a new class of radio bursts called SA events, which defined the characteristics of radio emission from interplanetary shocks. Following this, in 1984, Dr. Cane continued to work with solar and galactic particle observations from Interplanetary Monitoring Platform-8 (IMP 8). In the years following, Cane and her husband William Erickson split their time between Maryland and Bruny Island, Tasmania, where Cane continued to work at the Goddard Space Flight Center.^[2]

In 2014, Cane was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union "for elucidating the relative roles of flares and coronal mass ejections as sources of energetic particles from the Sun."^[3]

Since 2003, Cane has been a member of the International Astronomical Union.^[4]

Research

Cane's research investigated the abundance of solar energetic particles^[5] and the magnetic field of the sun and coronal mass ejections, particles released from the sun that interfere with power grids.^[6]^[7]

Personal life

Cane started orienteering in the mid-1970s^[8] and has published a walker's guide to Bruny Island.^[9] Cane was married to the astronomer William C. Erickson who established the Bruny Island Radio Spectrometer before he died in 2015.^[2]
