- Chusiro Hayashi (1920-2010) earned a physics degree from the University of Tokyo in 1942, followed by a doctorate in 1954.
- After the post -Navy service, he became a professor at Kyoto University in 1957.
- His research focused on implementing fundamental physics in the astronomical models of stellar and planetary growth, especially the Kyoto model of the formation of the solar system.
- The contribution of Hayashi involves the discovery of the Hayashi phase, a significant period in stellar development that characterized high brightness and activity.
Born on 25 July 1920, Chusiro Hayashi graduated from the University of Tokyo with a degree in Physics in 1942. After the service of World War II in the Navy, he returned to school in 1954 to complete his doctorate and become a professor at Kyoto University in 1957. Formation of solar system. He also discovered the Hayashi phase, a period during the birth of a star when it is extremely bright and active. He died in 2010, who received many awards and honors for their work.
