The citation was "for prediction of characteristics of ultracold neutrons , their detection and investigation". In early s, Zeldovich started working in astrophysics and physical cosmology. In , he and independently Edwin Salpeter were the first to suggest that accretion discs around massive black holes are responsible for the huge amounts of energy radiated by quasars.
In , he and Igor Novikov was the first to propose searching for black hole candidates among binary systems in which one star is optically bright and X-ray dark and the other optically dark but X-ray bright the black hole candidate. Zeldovich worked on the theory of the evolution of the hot universe, the properties of the microwave background radiation , the large-scale structure of the universe , and the theory of black holes.
He predicted, with Rashid Sunyaev , that the cosmic microwave background should undergo inverse Compton scattering. This is called the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect , and measurements by telescopes such as the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and the South Pole Telescope has established it as one of the key observational probes of cluster cosmology. Zeldovich contributed sharp insights into the nature of the large scale structure of the universe, in particular, through the use of Lagrangian perturbation theory the Zeldovich approximation and the application of the Burgers' equation approach via the adhesion approximation.
Zeldovich played a key role in developing the theory of black hole evaporation due to Hawking radiation.
During Stephen Hawking's visit to Moscow in , Soviet scientists Zeldovich and Alexei Starobinsky showed Hawking that, according to the quantum mechanical uncertainty principle , rotating black holes should create and emit particles. Igor Kurchatov called him a "genius" and Andrei Sakharov named him "a man of universal scientific interests. Hawking once said to Zel'dovich: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
