Branch of Science Astronomers Nationality German ... Physics Prize Schwarzschild, Karl (1873-1916) German astronomer and physicist who developed the use of photography for measuring variable stars. He also investigated the geometrical aberrations of optical systems using ray optics by introducing a perturbation equation which he called the Seidel eikonal Schwarzschild volunteered for military service and, while on the Russian front, completed the first two exact solutions of the Einstein field equations of general relativity one in static isotropic empty space surrounding a massive body (such as a black hole ), and one inside a spherically symmetric body of constant density. Shortly after this work, Schwarzschild died of a rare metabolic disorder.

Karl was the oldest of his parents six children, having five younger brothers and one sister.

He attended a Jewish primary school in Frankfurt up to the age of eleven, then he entered the Gymnasium there. It was at this stage that he became interested in astronomy and saved his pocket money to buy himself materials such as lens from which he could construct a telescope.

24. Schwarzschild Note karl schwarzschild (18731916). Just after Einstein published his paper on fieldequations of general relativity in 1915, karl schwarzschild, http://www.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/phisci/Gallery/schwarzschild_note.html

Karl Schwarzschild (1873-1916) Just after Einstein published his paper on field equations of general relativity in 1915, Karl Schwarzschild, then in the Russian front serving as artillery lieutenant in the German army, studied Einstein's paper and soon discovered the first exact solutions of the Einstein's equations. He wrote two papers, one treating the exterior space of a star, and another treating the interior of a star. The former, the paper on the exterior space of a star, is most famous, and his result is known as "Schwarzschild Geometry" which is applicable to the sun, the earth, and many other stars as well as a black hole, with no spin or negligible spin. He sent these two papers to Einstein, and the two were later published in Sizungsberichte of Preussische Akademie . But he died of sickness in May 1916. Einstein, in reply to the first paper sent to him by Schwarzschild, wrote, "I had not expected that one could formulate the exact solution of the problem in such a simple way" (Eisenstaedt 1989, 213, and quotation comes from doc. 181; also see original documents). He was a good astrophysicist, and a professor at Goettingen. His son Martin, incidentally, is a friend of John Archibald Wheeler's, one of the leading theorists of general relativity of our day. Schwarzschild Geometry was able to treat black holes, as it turned out, but many people, including Einstein, Eddington, and Wheeler, resisted the idea of a black hole. However, it is Wheeler who invented the word "black hole" (1967) after he was convinced of its possibility. It is truly remarkable that Schwarzschild Geometry suggested or even implied the possibility of a black hole, long before anyone can entertain such an idea. In tribute to this, Schwarzschild's picture is deformed, immitating his geometry.

Z entire Web this site Schwarzschild, Karl (1873-1916) A German mathematician and astronomer who predicted the existence of black holes. Schwarzschild, who became director of the Potsdam Observatory in 1909, did important practical work, establishing a method for determining stars' brightnesses from photographs by comparing their visual and photographic magnitudes to obtain their color index . However, his lasting contributions are theoretical and were made during the last year of his short life. In 1916, while serving on the Russian front, he wrote two papers on the recently published general theory of relativity , one of which develops the idea that the gravitational field of a collapsing star could become so intense as to prevent the escape of light.

Schwarzschild, Karl German astronomer and theoreticical physicist who was the first to substitute a photographic plate at the telescope in place of the eye and then measure densities with a photometer. He designed and constructed some of his own instruments. Martin Schwarzschild. In 1900, he suggested that the geometry of space was possibly not in conformity with Euclidean principles. (This was 16 years before the publication of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.) He later gave the first exact solution of Einstein's field equations. Schwarzschild introduced the concept of radiative equilibrium in astrophysics and was probably the first to see how radiative processes were important in conveying heat in stellar atmospheres. In 1906, he published work on the transfer of energy at and near the surface of the Sun. He devised a multi-slit interferometer and used it to measure the separation of close double stars. During a total solar eclipse 1905, he obtained spectrograms that gave information on the chemical composition of regions at various heights on the Sun. He later designed a spectrographic objective that provided a quick, reliable way to determine the radial velocities of stars.
