“…Their best-fit model, which came to be known as the "Bonn-Potsdam" or BN-P model, was characterized by a dark-energy density of Ω Λ,0 ≈ 1.08 and a total matter density of Ω M,0 ≈ 0.014, as measured in units of the critical density [88][89][90][91][92][93].…”

“…The study of these issues occupied most of the last ten years of Wolf's career, including two more review articles in Naturwissenschaften, a chapter in the authoritative Bergmann-Schaefer Lehrbuch der Experimentalphysik and many more publications [94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109]. We will not go over this material in detail here; recent reviews may be found in [107] and [142].…”

Wolfgang Priester was one of Germany's most versatile and quixotic astrophysicists, re-inventing himself successively as a radio astronomer, space physicist and cosmologist, and making a lasting impact on each field. We focus in this personal account on his contributions to cosmology, where he will be most remembered for his association with quasars, his promotion of the idea of a nonsingular "big bounce" at the beginning of the current expansionary phase, and his recognition of the importance of dark energy (Einstein's cosmological constant Λ) well before this became the standard paradigm in cosmology.
