这个奖项支持博士斯坦福大学E。伍斯利，一个博士后，一个研究生， 来自加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的学生与沃尔夫冈合作 位于慕尼黑加兴的马克斯·普朗克天体物理研究所的希勒布兰特说。 的 各小组将联合收割机结合他们的专业知识，研究大规模的 星 这些短命的巨星爆炸成超新星， 恒星，黑洞，中子星，以及构成所有物质的元素。 具体 要研究的主题是大质量恒星的演化， 明亮的超新星SN 1987A，大质量恒星的爆炸机制，爆炸 大质量恒星的机制，“失败的超新星"，基于 黑洞对恒星质量物体的吸积，以及中微子驱动的风。

This award supports Dr. Stanford E. Woosley, a post-doctoral student, and a graduate student from the University of California-Santa Cruz in a collaboration with Wolfgang Hillebrandt of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching bei M¼nchen. The groups will combine their expertise to investigate the evolution and dynamics of massive stars. These short-lived giants explode as supernovae giving rise to entire new generations of stars, black holes, neutron stars, and the elements that make up all matter. Specific topics to be investigated are evolution of massive stars, the evolution of the progenitor of the bright supernova SN 1987A, the explosion mechanism for massive stars, the explosion mechanism for massive stars, `failed supernovae,` models for gamma-ray bursts based on the accretion of stellar-mass objects by black holes, and neutrino-driven winds.
