Kenneth Kellerman

Kenneth Irwin Kellermann (born July 1, 1937) ^[1] is an American astronomer at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. ^{[2] [3]} He is best known for his work on quasars. He won the Helen B. Warner Prize for Astronomy of the American Astronomical Society in 1971, ^[4] and the Bruce Medal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in 2014.

Kellerman was a member of the National Academy of Sciences, ^[5] the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, ^[6] and the American Philosophical Society. ^[7]

Kellermann was born in New York City to Alexander Kellermann and Rae Kellermann (née Goodstein). His paternal grandparents emigrated from Hungary and his maternal grandparents from Romania. ^{[8] [9] [10]}
