摘要

Edwin Ernest Salpeter, who perhaps more than anyone put the physics into astrophysics, died on 26 November 2008 at the age of 83. Among his many accomplishments was figuring out how giant stars burn helium to form carbon in the 'triple-alpha process' (named after the three helium nuclei - alpha particles - that fuse together in the process). Before this discovery, the origin of the elements beyond helium in the periodic table was a mystery. Salpeter was born on 3 December 1924 in Vienna. In 1939 his family fled to Australia after the Nazi takeover of Austria the previous year. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Sydney, and then went to the University of Birmingham, UK, where he earned his doctorate in theoretical physics under the supervision of Rudolf Peierls in 1948. On Peierls' advice, he went to Cornell University in New York to work with fellow theoretical physicist Hans Bethe. He stayed at Cornell for nearly 60 years, and for most of this time occupied the same office assigned to him on his arrival.
