Owen Bruce Slee
Owen Bruce Slee (10 August 1924 – 18 August 2016) was an Australian radio astronomer regarded as one of the pioneers of the field in Australia. During the Second World War he independently detected solar radio emission, and after joining the CSIRO's Division of Radiophysics in 1946 he contributed to the discovery of the first discrete radio sources, a development that helped establish extragalactic radio astronomy as a field. Over a career spanning around 70 years, he studied phenomena ranging from the solar corona to distant galaxy clusters.
