Erste Ausgabe. - "By mid-1936 they had jointly discovered what is now known as the Gamow-Teller selection rule for betha decay - Gamow's last major contribution to 'pure' nuclear theory. Subsequently he concerned himself largely with applying nuclear physics to astronomical phenomena. Early in 1938, for example, he used his knowledge of nuclear reactions to interpret stellar evolution, that is, the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and the mass-luminosity relation... In 1939 Gamow and Teller, both of whom were strong advocates of the expanding-universe theory, traced the origin of the great nebulae to the formation of ancient stellar condensations which subsequently began separating from each other; in addition, they investigated the energy production in red giants" (DSB). - Umschlag gering fleckig, sonst gut erhalten. - DSB 5, 271
