Obituary: Edwin Salpeter (1924–2008)
Saul A. Teukolsky1 & Ira Wasserman1
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).
- Saul A. Teukolsky and Ira Wasserman are in the Departments of Physics and Astronomy, Space Sciences Building, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA.
