José Maza (born 1948) is a Chilean astronomer and astrophysicist. His work
has focused on the study of supernovas, the execution of a search for objects
with emission lines, dark energy, and quasars with an objective prism, which
led him to be awarded the National Prize for Exact Sciences in 1999.
After studying at the Internado Nacional Barros Arana, he entered
the Universidad de Chile as an astronomy student. He did his doctoral studies
in astronomy at the University of Toronto
Since 1968 he has been an academic of the Faculty of Physical and
Mathematical Sciences of the Universidad de Chile, and since 1987 he has
been a full professor of that house of studies. He was director of the University
of Chile's Department of Astronomy from 1997 to 2000.
Between 1979 and 1984 he headed the Scientific Project of Search for
Supernovas at Cerro El Roble and was part of Project Calán Tololo, a Chilean-
American initiative that featured the joint work of the University of Chile with the
Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory, in the search for supernovas.
The Calán Tololo project gave tools for measuring the universe more precisely,
calculations that years later would be key for a group of American astronomers Glossary
to follow these supernova studies, being part of the theory of accelerating
expansion of the universe by dark energy. He has not been recognized as such
since all his mathematical calculations were provided to Harvard University on
Measure: medir
the condition that they would only perform a mathematical modeling, which
allowed that group of American scientists to win the Nobel Prize in 2011 Key: clave, llave.

Apart from being a professor and being a member of the Center for Led: llevar, liderar.
Astrophysics and Related Technologies (CATA), he has given astronomical
talks to young people to get them interested in science, one of which he did at
the school in which he studied.

honor of José Maza.
