Election as an <abbr>AAAS<\/abbr> fellow is an honor bestowed upon <abbr>AAAS<\/abbr> members by their peers.<\/p>\n<p>Hall was elected as an <abbr>AAAS<\/abbr> fellow &ldquo;for distinguished contributions to the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomy at the University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> and on Mauna Kea, and infrared telescope, instrument, and sensor technology.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Hall served as the director of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifa.hawaii.edu\/\"><abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> Institute for Astronomy<\/a> from 1984 until 1997. Prior to that he served as deputy director of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stsci.edu\/portal\/\">Space Telescope Science Institute<\/a>, which operates the science program for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission_pages\/hubble\/main\/#.UpPfA-BXLHg\">Hubble Space Telescope<\/a>. He currently works at the Institute for Astronomy&#8217;s office in Hilo.<\/p>\n<p>The main focus of his work is developing infrared detector arrays for astronomical instruments that are mounted on telescopes on the ground and in space. The <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> detector arrays he has worked to develop have already been flown on <abbr>NASA<\/abbr>&#8217;s Hubble Space Telescope, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission_pages\/deepimpact\/main\/#.UpPfaeBXLHg\">Deep Impact comet mission<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/wise.ssl.berkeley.edu\/\">Wide Field Survey Explorer<\/a>. Fifteen of them, totaling over 60 megapixels, are now being integrated into scientific instruments of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jwst.nasa.gov\/\">James Webb Space Telescope<\/a> for launch in 2018. His arrays are also in use at ground-based observatories around the world, including all eight optical-infrared telescopes on Mauna Kea.<\/p>\n<p>Hall will be one of the 388 new fellows to receive an official certificate and a gold and blue (representing science and engineering, respectively) rosette pin on February 15, during the 2014 <abbr>AAAS<\/abbr> Annual Meeting in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Read the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/article.php?aId=6155\"><abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M&#257;noa news release<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M&#257;noa astronomer Donald Hall named Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (<abbr>AAAS<\/abbr>). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[34,35,9],"class_list":["post-21252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-people","tag-astronomy","tag-institute-for-astronomy","tag-uh-manoa","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21252"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21252\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":121884,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21252\/revisions\/121884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
