was a Japanese astrophysicist. Hayashi tracks on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram are named after him. He earned his B.Sc in physics at the Imperial University of Tokyo in 1942. He then worked as a research associate under Hideki Yukawa at Kyoto University. He made additions to the big bang nucleosynthesis model that built upon the work of the classic Alpher–Bethe–Gamow paper.〔 〕 Probably his most famous work was the astrophysical calculations that led to the Hayashi tracks of star formation,〔 〕 and the Hayashi limit that puts a limit on star radius. He was also involved in the early study of Brown dwarfs, some of the smallest stars formed.〔 〕 He retired in 1984. He won the Eddington Medal in 1970, the Kyoto Prize in 1995, and the Bruce Medal in 2004. Chushiro Hayashi died from pneumonia at a Kyoto hospital on February 28, 2010.〔 〕〔 〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chushiro Hayashi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
