Rudolph Schild

Rudolph E. Schild (born 10 January 1940) is an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, who has been active since the mid-1960s.[1] He has authored or contributed to over 250 papers, of which 150 are in refereed journals.[2] He is married to mezzo-soprano Jane Struss, who teaches voice at Longy School of Music.[1]

Schild is a proponent of "magnetospheric eternally collapsing objects" (MECOs),[3][4] an alternative to black holes.[5] These results are most often published in the fringe Journal of Cosmology, an astronomy journal edited by Schild himself,[6] while his other research is published in mainstream astronomy journals such as MNRAS and the Astronomical Journal.[2]
