Christine Patricia Allen Armiño is a Mexican astronomer whose research has included runaway stars including the Becklin–Neugebauer Object, [A] [D] the overall distribution of mass in the Milky Way and its effects on stellar orbits, [B] binary and multiple star systems, [C] and the applications of binary star observations in testing physical theories. [E] She is a senior researcher at the Institute of Astronomy of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and the editor of the Mexican Magazine of Astronomy and Astrophysics. [1]
The galactic mass distribution model she developed with Alfredo Santillán [B] has been called the Allen–Santillán model. [2]
Recognition
Allen is a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences. [3] UNAM gave her their Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz prize in 2008. [4]
