论文摘要
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, we explore 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 gravitational-wave detection became established by the appearance全尺度探测器和国际合作。在1960年代的壮观天体发现以及相对论天体物理学的越来越多的作用的背景下，路德维希·比尔曼（Ludwig Biermann）及其在慕尼黑的马克斯·普朗克天体物理学研究所的合作者及其合作者深深地参与了与这种新视野有关的研究。在1960年代末，约瑟夫·韦伯（Joseph Weber）声称对重力浪潮发现的公告引发了该群体的决定性进入，这与任命著名的相对主义者Juergen Ehlers并行。慕尼黑地区马克斯·普朗克研究所（Max Planck Institutes）为在1970年代获得领先地位提供了肥沃的基础，从而促进了从共振棒向激光干扰法及其在越来越大的规模上的创新，最终在1990年代初移至汉诺威的专用地点。汉诺威集团强调了在试点尺度上完善实验系统，并且从未开发出全尺寸的探测器，而是在本世纪末加入Ligo科学合作。同时，Max Planck重力物理学研究所（Albert Einstein Institute）是在Potsdam建立的，在2000年代初期，汉诺威和Potsdam的两个地点在2000年代初成为统一的实体，并且是2015年首次发现引力波的核心贡献者。
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, we explore 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 gravitational-wave detection became established by the appearance of full-scale detectors and international collaborations. On the background of the spectacular astrophysical discoveries of the 1960s and the growing role of relativistic astrophysics, Ludwig Biermann and his collaborators at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Munich became deeply involved in research related to such new horizons. At the end of the 1960s, Joseph Weber's announcements claiming detection of gravitational waves sparked the decisive entry of this group into the field, in parallel with the appointment of the renowned relativist Juergen Ehlers. The Munich area group of Max Planck institutes provided the fertile ground for acquiring a leading position in the 1970s, facilitating the experimental transition from resonant bars towards laser interferometry and its innovation at increasingly large scales, eventually moving to a dedicated site in Hannover in the early 1990s. The Hannover group emphasized perfecting experimental systems at pilot scales, and never developed a full-sized detector, rather joining the LIGO Scientific Collaboration at the end of the century. In parallel, the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) had been founded in Potsdam, and both sites, in Hannover and Potsdam, became a unified entity in the early 2000s and were central contributors to the first detection of gravitational waves in 2015.
