The endpapers are illustrated in colour and there are black and white photographs throughout. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the contents, with Anthony R. Michaelis' inscription, are clean and bright throughout. An excellent collection. 'Black Holes, Gravitational Waves and Cosmology' and 'Radio Pulsars' have Antony Hewish's ownership inscriptions on the front free endpaper. 'The Scientific Temper' is inscribed by Anthony Michaelis to Hewish on the half title in blue ink "To Anthony Hewish / "Rememeber, Remember / The 5th of March 1968 / The Birthday of the PULSAR" / See Title 158 / Yours ever / Anthony Michaelis / Heidelberg 040513". Anthony R. Michaelis was a science journalist who coined the term 'pulsar' in the Daily Telegraph after speaking to Hewish and his assistant Jocelyn Bell about their discovery of pulsating stars, the story of which is recounted on page 158. Hewish was a radio astronomer who developed a large phased array radio telescope which led to the discovery of pulsars for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1974. His Nobel Lecture 'Pulsars and High Density Physics' is featured in 'Les Prix Nobel en 1974'. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

Postkarte. Condition: Befriedigend. Blankopostkarte von Anthony Hewish mit schwarzem Stift signiert /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Antony Hewish (* 11. Mai 1924 in Fowey, Cornwall; ? 13. September 2021[1]) war ein britischer Radioastronom und Physik-Nobelpreisträger. Leben Antony Hewish wurde als jüngster von drei Brüdern in Fowey (Cornwall) geboren und wuchs in Newquay auf. Nach dem Besuch des King?s College in Taunton begann er 1942 sein Studium an der Universität Cambridge. Er leistete von 1943 bis 1946 Kriegsdienst in Forschungseinrichtungen, dem Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough und dem Telecommunications Research Establishment in Malvern, in der Radarforschung. Er kehrte 1946 nach Cambridge zurück und schloss sein Studium 1948 ab. Anschließend wechselte er ans Cavendish Laboratory zu Martin Ryle, mit dem er bereits während seines Kriegsdienstes zusammengearbeitet hatte. Nach seiner Promotion 1952 wechselte er zunächst ans Gonville and Caius College und 1961 als Studienleiter für Physik an das Churchill College. Er wurde 1971 zum Professor für Radioastronomie ernannt und emeritierte 1989. Er übernahm 1977 nach einer schweren Erkrankung von Martin Ryle die Führung der Radioastronomiegruppe in Cambridge und stand von 1982 bis 1988 dem Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (MRAO) in Lord?s Bridge (Cambridgeshire) vor, einer Ende 1967 geschlossenen Eisenbahnstation zwischen Oxford und Cambridge und einige km westlich von Cambridge. Hewish heiratete 1950 Marjorie Elizabeth Catherine Richards. Aus der Ehe gingen ein Sohn, ein Physiker, und eine Tochter, eine Sprachlehrerin, hervor.[2][3] Antony Hewish starb am 13. September 2021 im Alter von 97 Jahren.[1][4] Werk Hewish begann seine Arbeit auf dem Gebiet der Radioastronomie am Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge und erzielte sowohl praktische als auch theoretische Fortschritte in der Beobachtung und Auswertung der Szintillation von Radioquellen aufgrund der Wechselwirkung ihrer Strahlung mit der Ionosphäre. Nach der Entdeckung der interplanetaren Szintillation durch den Sonnenwind 1964 sammelte er Gelder für die Finanzierung mehrerer Teleskope in Cambridge, um die Beobachtungsmöglichkeiten von Radiogalaxien zu verbessern. Nachdem 1965 die Konstruktion begonnen hatte, wurden die Teleskope, die zu einem großen Array zusammengeschaltet sind, 1967 fertiggestellt. Im Rahmen dieses Projektes bemerkte eine seiner Doktoranden, Jocelyn Bell, den ersten Pulsar PSR J1921+2153. Er wurde 1974 zusammen mit Martin Ryle mit dem Nobelpreis für Physik für seine Rolle bei der Entdeckung der Pulsare ausgezeichnet. In der Folge wurde das Nobelkomitee heftig kritisiert, vor allem von Fred Hoyle, da Jocelyn Bell, die die eigentliche Entdeckerin war und in der Originalveröffentlichung der Entdeckung an zweiter Stelle nach Hewish genannt ist, leer ausging. /// Standort Wimregal GAD-30.149 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 10.
