The early years of Pierre: importance of his work for Astrophysics and other fields of Physics

A brief review is given of the pioneering work of Pierre during the years 1974-1981, during which time he investigated the state selective nature of electron capture by multiply charged ions under interstellar conditions. The various stages on the development of the methods used are presented: adiab...
