The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation was created in 1860 and it is dedicated to promoting scientific research at the highest level. The award honors the figure of Friedrich Bessel, who performed remarkable studies in mathematics and astronomy, including the systematization of the Bessel functions, the precise measurement of the position of over 3000 stars, and the discovery that some of these stars belonged to binary systems.<\/p>\n

Each year, the foundation awards the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award to over two dozen scientists from all research areas and from all over the world, who must be nominated by colleagues and finally selected by an independent jury.<\/p>\n

This special award adds to a list of recent awards granted to Prof. Torres. These include the distinction of NASA Group Achievement Award (2010, USA), the Guggenheim Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation (2006, USA), the Shakti Duggal Award in cosmic ray physics of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (2007), and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Award for Excellence in Research (2004, USA). Torres focuses his main lines of research on theoretical and observational studies of high energy emission from galactic objects.<\/p>\n
