Riccardo Giacconi, one of the most charismatic and influential figures of astrophysics in the modern era, died on 9 December 2018. He was 87. Giacconi was a co-recipient of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics for “pioneering contributions to astrophysics, which have led to the discovery of cosmic x-ray sources.” His contributions to astronomy, however, span the entire electromagnetic spectrum, as he directed the development and operation of major space- and ground-based facilities, which have greatly expanded our scientific boundaries over the past 50 years.

Abstract
Riccardo Giacconi, one of the most charismatic and influential figures of astrophysics in the modern era, died on 9 December 2018. He was 87. Giacconi was a co-recipient of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics for “pioneering contributions to astrophysics, which have led to the discovery of cosmic x-ray sources.” His contributions to astronomy, however, span the entire electromagnetic spectrum, as he directed the development and operation of major space- and ground-based facilities, which have greatly expanded our scientific boundaries over the past 50 years.File in questo prodotto:
