论文摘要
斯特林高露洁(Stirling Colgate)是一位非常富有想象力的物理学家,他是一位独立的思想家,具有广泛的兴趣和传染性热情,天生的领导者持续着攻击科学领域的基本问题。在他的许多成就中,他建立了恒星崩溃和超新星爆炸的定量理论,并将数值模拟引入了天体物理工具箱中。在核武器,磁性和惯性融合以及天体物理学的科学中,他为理论和实验带来了强烈的身体直觉。
Stirling Colgate was a remarkably imaginative physicist, an independent thinker with a wide breadth of interests and contagious enthusiasm, a born leader with enduring drive to attack fundamental problems in science. Among his many achievements, he founded the quantitative theory of stellar collapse and supernova explosions, and introduced numerical simulation into the astrophysical toolbox. He brought strong physical intuition to both theory and experiment, in the sciences of nuclear weapons, magnetic and inertial fusion, as well as astrophysics.
