來小禹，女，1983年生，2010年獲北京大學理學博士學位，現任教於新疆大學通過研究極緻密物質的天體物理錶現來探索強相互作用物質的基本性質認為脈衝星可能為誇剋集團（如H雙重子等）構成的凝聚態物質並計算其物態，所得結果跟大質量脈衝星的發現吻閤，探討早期宇宙QCD相變的可能後果。

陳國英，男，1982年生，2011年獲北京大學理學博士學位，現任教於新疆大學目前從事粒子物理方麵的理論研究工作，尤其是有效場論在粒子物理唯象學上的應用。

徐仁新，男，1967年生，1997年獲北京大學理學博士學位，現任北京大學物理學院教授關注脈衝星、誇剋星、中子星以及宇宙早期QCD相變、高能宇宙綫等科學問題.推測緻密物質的三味誇剋集團桐，並試圖通過天文觀測檢驗之。

The last years have seen a symbiosis of the fields of elementary particle physics and the astrophysics of the early universe. This text presents the background of the subjects and the latest developments at a level suitable for final year undergraduates and beginning graduate students. The first chapters cover the properties and interactions of elementary particles followed by discussion of the early universe, including inflation, dark matter and dark energy, and the growth of the galactic structure. The final chapters discuss cosmic rays and particle physics in the stars. The close relation between particle interactions and large scale development of the cosmos is a constant theme in the text, with emphasis on the interplay between experiment and theory. This book is an enlarged and updated version of the first edition published five years ago. In a rapidly evolving field, emphasis has of course been placed on the most recent developments. However, the opportunity has also been taken to re-arrange the material and present it in more detail and at somewhat greater length.
