The Astronomical Society of Australia (ASA) honoured six astronomers at its Annual Scientific Meeting in Adelaide this week, including two ANU scientists.

The Fellowship recognises women who have achieved an outstanding academic record and demonstrated initiative, ambition and commitment to pursuing a career in aerospace engineering and space sciences. Erin is one of 30 women from 13 different countries who have received the 2025 Fellowship. She is also the 3rd person at ANU and the 16th person in Australia since 1940 to win this award.

The “music” of starquakes – enormous vibrations caused by bursting bubbles of gas that ripple throughout the bodies of many stars – can reveal far more information about the stars’ histories and inner workings than scientists thought.
