Cowie's research deals with the dynamics of interstellar and intergalactic gas. At the University of Hawaii, he investigated, with the telescope on Mauna Kea and with the Hubble Space Telescope, the oldest stars and galaxies in the universe and their formation and early development.

Awards and honours Edit

In 1984, Cowie won the Harvard University Bok Prize[3] and in 1985 the Helen B. Warner Prize from the American Astronomical Society. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1988,[4] and a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2004.[5] He was awarded the 2009 Dannie Heineman Prize for Astrophysics.[6][7] He was elected a Legacy Fellow of the American Astronomical Society in 2020.[8]
