Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. 8vo; pp. 176. MARGARET BURBIDGE'S COPY OF THIS SCARCE AND IMPORTANT WORK ON PURE GEOMETRY. This volume was probably acquired by Burbidge after her return to England. She had trained and then taught at ucl, and then from 1951 spent two years at the Yerkes Observatory, Wisconsin, before returning to the University of Cambridge to conduct research with her husband Geoffrey Burbidge, William Fowler and Fred Hoyle. This resulted in the monumental B2FH paper of 1957, which for the first time described the physics of stellar nucleosynthesis , i.e. the origin of all elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. From 1959 her researched turned towards the geometry of distant galaxies over a period of many years Burbidge and her collaborators analyzed the rotation curves of many galaxies, developing key insights and techniques, and adding crucial evidence to the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe. This work therefore helped shape the work of one of the greats of 20th-century astrophysics. Very good condition. Inscribed by Author(s).…

First edition, journal issue, of one of the most revolutionary papers in modern science, presenting conclusive proof that the heavy elements which make life possible are created in the stars and distributed throughout the universe by supernovae. Lead author Margaret Burbidge (1919-2020) was to become a 'towering figure in the history of modern physics and astronomy. a key driver of three great revolutionary thrusts in the development of physics and astronomy over the last 70 years' (University of California obituary). A fresh, attractive copy in the original wrappers. By the early 1950s it was clear that the lighter elements, hydrogen, helium, and lithium, were created during the Big Bang, but there were two competing theories on the origin of the heavier elements. Physicist George Gamow believed that they were all made at the origin of the universe, but in 1954 astronomer Fred Hoyle proposed that they were instead created by the process of nuclear fusion in stars. British astronomer Margaret Burbidge was at the time working at Caltech, and she and her husband Geoffrey collaborated with Hoyle and William Fowler to investigate the hypothesis. 'Over a two-year period, 1955-56, the Burbidges and Fowler then gathered a wealth of evidence in support of Hoyle's theory. These included astronomical observations taken by Margaret of the elemental abundances, and the laboratory measurements of nuclear reactions gathered by Fowler. The results were conclusive. The paper changed our understanding of cosmic evolution, and of our connection to the vast universe. As Fowler put it: "All of us are truly and literally a little bit of stardust"', a sentiment famously echoed by Carl Sagan in 1973 (Guardian obituary, April 22, 2020). The present paper, usually referred to as 'B2FH' for its three authors, 'was undoubtedly the Burbidges' greatest scientific achievement, with far-reaching consequences for astrophysics and cosmology' (Royal Society obituary, August 25, 2021) and 'it also brokered the deep relationship between observational astronomy and nuclear physics' (University of California obituary). Burbidge and her husband went on to become leaders in the physics of quasars, and she pioneered the use of space-based astronomical instruments, most notably the Hubble Space Telescope's Faint Objects Spectrograph.
