Tayler, Cambridge, October 1968. Per Wikipedia, Roger John Tayler (25 October 1929 - 23 January 1997) Was A British Astronomer. Tayler Made Important Contributions To Stellar Structure And Evolution, Plasma Stability, Nucleogenesis And Cosmology. He Wrote A Number Of Textbooks. He Collaborated With Fred Hoyle And Stephen Hawking At The University Of Cambridge On Problems Of Helium Production In Cosmology. He Was Secretary (1971-79), Treasurer (1979-87) And Finally President (1989-90) Of The Royal Astronomical Society. In March 1995 He Was Elected A Fellow Of The Royal Society.[3] His Candidacy Citation Read "Roger Tayler's Versatile Career In Astronomy Started With Pioneering Studies In Stellar Evolution, Including His Discovery Of Semi-Convection. At Harwell, His Work On Plasma Stability Included A Discussion Of The Stabilized Pinch And The Prediction Of Instabilities Produced By Finite Resistivity. He Subsequently Applied This Expertise To A Study Of The Stability Of Stellar Magnetic Fields And To The Interaction Of Rotation And Magnetic Fields With Convection. In Cosmology, He Calculated (With Hoyle) The Cosmic Helium Abundance, Stressing The Importance Of The Number Of Neutrino Types, And He Pointed Out The Significance Of The Neutron Half-Life. In Nucleosynthesis He Calculated The Abundances Of Iron Peak Elements Produced At High Temperatures, And Recently He Has Been Deeply Involved With The Chemical Evolution Of Galaxies.
