Heidi B. Hammel (an Haife ta 14 ga watan Maris, shekara ta 1960) masanin sararin samiya ne na duniya yar kasar Amurka wanda ta yi karatun a akan Neptune da Uranus sosai. Ta kasance cikin tawagar da ke daukar hoton duniyan Neptune daga Voyager a shekarar ta 1989. Ta jagoranci tawagar ta amfani da na'urar hangen nesa ta Hubble don duba tasirin Shoemaker-Levy 9 tare da Jupiter a 1994. Ta yi amfani da na'urar hangen nesa ta Hubble da Keck Telescope don nazarin Uranus da Neptune, gano sababbin bayanai game da duhu spots, hadari na Uranus. A shekara ta 2002, an zaɓe ta a matsayin ƙwararriyar ƙwararrun ta James Webb .

Hammel ta dauki dogon lokaci mai yawa a matsayin mai sadarwa na kimiyya. Ita ce wadda ta samu lambar yabo ta Carl Sagan a shekara ta 2002 da aka baiwa wani masanin kimiyya wanda sadarwarsa ta inganta fahimtar jama'a sosai game da kimiyyar taurari. Ta kasance ɗaya daga cikin mata 50 mafi mahimmanci a kimiyyar Discover Magazine a 2003. Baya ga aikin da ta shafi jama'a a NASA, ta zama mataimakiyar shugaban zartarwa na Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) a 2010.

Hammel shi ne mataimakin shugaban zartarwa na Ƙungiyar Jami'o'i don Bincike a Astronomy (AURA), ƙungiyar mambobi 44 na Amurka (jami'o'i da cibiyoyin ilimi da masu zaman kansu) da kuma 5 na duniya. AURA tana gudanar da masu lura da taurari na duniya da suka haɗa da Hubble Space Telescope, National Optical Astronomy Observatory, National Solar Observatory, da Gemini Observatory . Hammel ya zama mataimakin shugaban zartarwa na kungiyar Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) a shekara ta 2010. Hammel ta ce ta fahimci kimanin shekaru 15 da fara aikinta cewa ana bukatar mutane a cikin al'ummar kimiyya wadanda ke tsarawa da kuma aiki don makomar kimiyya.

I made a commitment several years ago to move from the doing of the research to the enabling of the research... I want to make sure that ... young people have the opportunities, with the new tools that we're developing right now, to push the boundaries of science.

Kafin nadin ta a AURA, Hammel ya kasance yana aiki a matsayin babban masanin kimiyyar bincike kuma babban darektan bincike a Cibiyar Kimiyyar Sararin Samaniya da ke Boulder, Colorado . A cikin 2002, an zaɓe ta a matsayin ƙwararriyar ƙwararrun ƙwararrun masana kimiyya don magajin Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope, wanda aka ƙaddamar a cikin 2021.

Bincike

Babban wuraren da Hammel ke da sha'awa shine nazarin taurari na ƙasa da sararin samaniya na sararin samaniya da tauraron dan adam a bayyane da kusa da raƙuman raƙuman infrared ta amfani da fasahar Adaptive Optics (AO).

Hammel ta bayyana nata binciken da cewa:

"One thing that we all care about is the weather, and we care about the weather on the Earth the most. But what makes weather is gases and clouds, and the reason the weather on the Earth is hard to predict is because we have oceans and continents that interact with our atmosphere. That makes it very hard to predict the weather, as we all know. But if you take a planet like Jupiter or Neptune you don't have continents and you don't have oceans. All you have is gas, all you have is atmosphere, and therefore it's a lot easier to model the weather on those planets. But it's the same physical process, it's the same kind of thing happening, whether it happens on the Earth or whether it happens on Neptune. Therefore by studying weather on Neptune we learn about weather in general, and that helps us understand the weather on Earth better".

A ranar 2 ga Nuwamba, 2010, Ƙungiyar Jami'o'i don Bincike a Falaki ta sanar da nadin Hammel a matsayin mataimakin shugaban zartarwa. Hammel ya fara nadin nata ne a ranar 1 ga Janairu, 2011. Da yake karbar wannan nadin, Hammel ya ce:

The United States astronomical community stands at an interesting juncture with many possible paths ahead of us. I look forward to working with AURA as we confront these challenges. Our shared goal is a rich future for astronomy and astrophysics, giving the next generation of scientists new opportunities to explore the universe.
