Janssen-Medalje (Franse Akademie vir Wetenskappe)

Die Janssen-medalje is 'n astrofisika-toekenning wat deur die Franse Akademie vir Wetenskappe toegeken word aan persone wat op hierdie gebied van wetenskap vordering gemaak het. [1]

Die toekenning is in 1886 gestig, alhoewel die eerste medalje nie tot 'n jaar later toegeken is nie. Die kommissie wat gestig is om te besluit op die eerste ontvanger van die medalje, het die Duitse fisikus Gustav Kirchhoff gekies vir sy werk op die wetenskap van spektroskopie. Kirchhoff het egter op 17 Oktober 1887, 63 jaar oud, gesterf, 'n paar maande voor die toekenning aangekondig sou word. In plaas van om 'n nuwe ontvanger vir die toekenning te kies, het die kommissie by die Akademie se sessie van 26 Desember 1887 aangekondig dat die inlywende medalje op sy graf geplaas sal word tot groot eer van die nagedagtenis van hierdie groot geleerde van Heidelberg. [2]

Die toekenning was bedoel om tweejaarliks te wees, maar is in 1888 en weer in 1889 toegeken. In die 1889-reeks Comptes rendus de l'Academie des Sciences is verduidelik dat die toekenning jaarliks vir die eerste sewe jaar aangebied sal word, en dan twee jaarliks vanaf 1894. [3]

Hierdie toekenning word onderskei van die Prix Jules Janssen (geskep in 1897), 'n jaarlikse toekenning aangebied deur die Franse Sterrekundige Vereniging. Beide toekennings is vernoem na die Franse sterrekundige Pierre Janssen (1824-1907) (beter bekend as Jules Janssen). Janssen het die Akademie-toekenning gevestig, en was 'n lid van die inleidende kommissie.
