He was one of the most remarkable astrophysicists in the second half of the twentieth century, and he attracted controversy throughout his career. Based on a full-length autobiography left behind by Thomas Gold, this book was edited by the astrophysicist and historian of science, Simon Mitton (University of Cambridge)..The book is a retrospective on Gold’s remarkable life. He fled from Vienna in 1933, eventually settling in England and completing an engineering degree at Trinity College in Cambridge. During the war, he worked on naval radar research alongside Fred Hoyle and Hermann Bondi – which, in an unlikely chain of events, eventually led to his working with them on steady-state cosmology. In 1968, shortly after their discovery, he provided the explanation of pulsars as rotating neutron stars..In his final position at Cornell, he and his colleagues persuaded the US Defense Department to fund theconversion of the giant radio telescope at Arecibo in Puerto Rico into a superb instrument for radio astronomy. Gold’s interests covered physiology, astronomy, cosmology, geophysics, and engineering..Written in an | | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | | 关键词 | Arecibo radio telescope; Autobiography Tommy Gold; Explanation of pulsars; Origin of petroleum; Steady s | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-27588-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-43246-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-27588-3Series ISSN 0067-0057 Series E-ISSN 2214-7985 | | issn_series | 0067-0057 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012 |
