论文摘要
我是1970年(现在是50年前)发现第一个磁性白矮人的六个人之一。回想一下这一事件,我意识到这一发现发生在何时以及如何进行,因为沿着奇怪而蜿蜒的道路有一系列幸运的巧合。在本文中,我回想起事件,并回顾这些不太可能的巧合如何帮助我们成功。
I was one of the six people most closely involved in the discovery of the first magnetic white dwarf in 1970, now 50 years ago. Thinking back on this event, I have realised that the discovery occurred when and how it did because of a series of lucky coincidences along a strange and winding path. In this paper I recount the events as I recall them, and reflect on how those unlikely coincidences helped us to succeed.
