Timeline

1950

Scott Duncan Tremaine (born 1950) is a Canadian-born astrophysicist.

He is a fellow of the Royal Society of London, the Royal Society of Canada and the National Academy of Sciences.

Tremaine is widely regarded as one of the world's leading astrophysicists for his contributions to the theory of Solar System and galactic dynamics.

Tremaine is the namesake of asteroid 3806 Tremaine.

He is credited with coining the name "Kuiper belt".

1971

He obtained a bachelor's degree at McMaster University in 1971, and a PhD from Princeton University in 1975.

1979

Tremaine, along with Peter Goldreich, correctly predicted that shepherd moons created Saturn's thin F ring, as well as the thin rings of Uranus in 1979.

1981

He was an associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1981 to 1985.

The Saturnian moons Prometheus and Pandora were first observed in 1981 and shepherding moons were found around Uranus' rings in 1986.

Tremaine cowrote the book Galactic Dynamics with James Binney, which is often regarded as the standard reference in the field and has been cited more than three thousand times in scholarly publications.

Tremaine, along with collaborators at the University of Toronto, showed that short period comets originate in the Kuiper belt.

Tremaine is credited with suggesting that the apparent "double nucleus" of the Andromeda Galaxy was in fact a single ring of old red stars.

1983

In 1983, he won the Helen B. Warner Prize for Astronomy given by the American Astronomical Society in recognition of "his many outstanding contributions to a wide range of dynamical problems in both solar-system and galactic dynamics".

1986

He became the first director of the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics at the University of Toronto in 1986, a position he held until 1996.

1990

In 1990, he was awarded the Rutherford Memorial Medal in Physics by the Academies of Arts, Humanities and Sciences of Canada for "his outstanding contributions to the field to [sic] astrophysics, particularly his spectacular success in predicting the properties of planetary ring dynamics and the extraplanetary objects that control them".

In 1990, he won the C.S. Beals Award from the Canadian Astronomical Society which is awarded for outstanding research to a Canadian astronomer or an astronomer working in Canada.

1994

In 1994, Tremaine became a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and also of the Royal Society of Canada.

1995

He gained the rare distinction of "University Professor" at the University of Toronto in 1995.

1996

He further received an honorary PhD from McMaster University in 1996.

In 1996, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science award by McMaster University.

1997

In 1997, he left CITA and took up a position as a professor at Princeton University, becoming chair of the Astrophysical Sciences department from 1998 to 2006.

In 1997, he was awarded the Dannie Heineman Prize for Astrophysics for "diverse and insightful applications of dynamics to planets, rings, comets, galaxies and the universe."

1998

In 1998, he won the Dirk Brouwer Award which is awarded by the Division of Dynamical Astronomy of the American Astronomical Society "in recognition of his many outstanding contributions to a wide range of dynamical problems in both solar-system and galactic dynamics."

1999

In 1999, Tremaine also received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from St. Mary's University.

2002

In 2002, he was elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences.

2005

In 2005, he won the Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

2007

Scott Tremaine is currently a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study, for which he left Princeton University in 2007, being replaced as department chair by David Spergel.

He has been married to Prof. Marilyn Mantei Tremaine for more than two decades, an expert in human-computer interaction who is the past chair of the SIGCHI section of the Association for Computing Machinery.

2010

In 2010, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Toronto "in recognition of his scholarly contributions to the field of astrophysics, and his administrative leadership in support of Canadian and international science".

2013

In 2013, he won the Tomalla Foundation Prize for his work on gravitational dynamics.

2020

In 2020, he was elected a Legacy Fellow of the American Astronomical Society in 2020.
