Friedrich-Karl "Friedel“ Thielemann (born 17 April 1951 in
Mülheim an der Ruhr
) is a German-Swiss theoretical astrophysicist.
Thielemann studied at the
Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian and at the Harvard Observatory of Harvard University. In 1994 he became a professor at the University of Basel. In 1995 he was a guest professor at the University of Turin and from 1997 to 2001 a guest scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
.
Besides theoretical and computer-simulated astrophysics and nuclear astrophysics (including important nuclear reactions and properties of unstable stellar cores, equations of state of quark-matter and core matter of higher density), he worked on the modeling of astrophysical plasmas for important subatomic processes. He investigated, among other things, supernovae, X-ray bursts, gamma ray bursts, fusion of neutron stars, emergence of heavy elements, and evolution of chemical elements in galaxies.
In 1979 he received the
Hans Bethe Prize "for his many outstanding theoretical contributions to the understanding of nucleosynthesis, stellar evolution and stellar explosions."[2]
Since 2004 he is a member of the Swiss Research Council.
