TL;DR: On the occasion of the 50th anniversary since the beginning of the search for gravitational waves at the Max Planck Society, and in coincidence with the 25th anniversary of the foundation of the Albert Einstein Institute, this paper explored the interplay between the renaissance of general relativity and the advent of relativistic astrophysics following the German early involvement in gravitational-wave research, to the point when the existence of full-scale detectors and international collaborations.

TL;DR: Rossi as discussed by the authors was a pioneer in cosmic-ray physics and virtually every other aspect of high-energy astrophysics and was forced to emigrate to the United States during the Second World War.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors trace the evolution of the concept of a dense core in stars, which was important both for an understanding of stellar evolution and as a testing ground for the fast-evolving field of nuclear physics.

TL;DR: The Rossi coincidence circuit as discussed by the authors was developed by Bruno Rossi, who developed a vacuum-tube device capable of registering the simultaneous occurrence of electrical pulses from any number of counters with a tenfold improvement in time resolution.
