She completed her master's degree in physics at the Paris Diderot University. She remained there for her doctoral research, studying jointly at the University of Göttingen. Her research considered the evolution of non-metallic stars. [2] She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics and the University of ...
Virginia Louise Trimble (born November 15, 1943) is an American astronomer specializing in the structure and evolution of stars and galaxies, and the history of astronomy. [2] She has published more than 600 works in Astrophysics, [ 3 ] and dozens of other works in the history of other sciences.
1930s: Erich Regener calculates that the non-thermal spectrum of cosmic rays in the galaxy has an effective temperature of 2.8 K. [7] 1931: The term microwave first appears in print: "When trials with wavelengths as low as 18 cm were made known, there was undisguised surprise that the problem of the micro-wave had been solved so soon."
Schwarzschild's 1958 book Structure and Evolution of the Stars [8] taught a generation of astrophysicists how to apply electronic computers to the computation of stellar models. In the 1950s and ’60s he headed the Stratoscope projects, which took instrumented balloons to unprecedented heights.
Hugh Norman Ross (born July 24, 1945) is a Canadian astrophysicist, Christian apologist, and old-Earth creationist.. Ross obtained his Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Toronto [1] [2] [3] and his B.Sc. degree in physics from the University of British Columbia. [4]
The subdisciplines of theoretical astrophysics are: Compact objects – this subdiscipline studies very dense matter in white dwarfs and neutron stars and their effects on environments including accretion. Physical cosmology – origin and evolution of the universe as a whole. The study of cosmology is theoretical astrophysics at its largest scale.
Astrophysics is a science that employs the methods and principles of physics and chemistry in the study of astronomical objects and phenomena. [1] [2] As one of the founders of the discipline, James Keeler, said, astrophysics "seeks to ascertain the nature of the heavenly bodies, rather than their positions or motions in space—what they are, rather than where they are", [3] which is studied ...
John R. Gribbin (born 19 March 1946) [1] is a British science writer, an astrophysicist, and a visiting fellow in astronomy at the University of Sussex. [2] His writings include quantum physics, human evolution, climate change, global warming, the origins of the universe, and biographies of famous scientists. He also writes science fiction.
