Brief Biographical Sketch
Rudolph E. Schild, PhD is an astrophysicist at Harvard University, the director of the 1.5 meter telescope program at the Harvard-Smithsonian Cambridge observatories[1]. He has authored or contributed to over two hundred and fifty papers[2]. Dr. Schild is an avid automobile collector and is married to mezzo soprano Jane Struss, who teaches voice at Longy School of Music.[1]
In 1996, Schild's team observed a microlensing event in one lobe of the Twin Quasar, and has proposed a planet to explain it, in galaxy YGKOW G1, the most distant proposed planet yet. [3]
In 2006, Schild has advanced a paper that proposes that the compact central object of the Twin Quasar is a magnetospheric eternally collapsing object, and not a black hole. [4] (Source: Wikipedia.)
