  • Annotated Bibliography: Women in Physics, Astronomy, and Related Disciplines
    Annotated Bibliography: Women in Physics, Astronomy, and Related Disciplines Abir Am, Pnina and Dorinda Outram, eds. Uneasy Careers and Intimate Lives: Women in Science, 1787-1979. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1987. Abir Am and Outram’s volume includes a collection of essays about women in science that highlight the intersection of personal and professional spheres. All of the articles argue that the careers of women scientists are influenced by their family lives and that their family lives are impacted because of their scientific careers. This text is significant in two ways: first, it is one of the earliest examples of scholarship that moves beyond the recovering women in science, but placing them in the context of their home and work environments. Second, it suggests that historians of science can no longer ignore the private lives of their historical subjects. This volume contains four articles relating to women in physics and astronomy: Marilyn Bailey Ogilvie’s “Marital Collaboration: An Approach to Science” (pages 104-125), Sally Gregory Kohlstedt’s “Maria Mitchell and the Advancement of Women in Science” (pages 129-146), Helena M. Pycior’s “Marie Curie’s ‘Anti-Natural Path’: Time Only for Science and Family” (pages 191-215), and Peggy Kidwell’s “Cecelia Payne-Gaposchkin: Astronomy in the Family” (pages 216-238). As a unit, the articles would constitute and interesting lesson on personal and professional influences. Individually, the articles could be incorporated into lessons on a single scientist, offering a new perspective on their activities at work and at home. It complements Pycior, Slack, and Abir Am’s Creative Couples in the Sciences and Lykknes, Opitz, and Van Tiggelen’s For Better of For Worse: Collaborative Couples in the Sciences, which also look at the intersection of the personal and professional.

  • The Stellar Career of Dorrit Hoffleit
    44 Larsen, JAAVSO Volume 40, 2012 Variable Stars and Constant Commitments: the Stellar Career of Dorrit Hoffleit Kristine Larsen Physics and Earth Sciences, Central Connecticut State University, 1615 Stanley Street, New Britain, CT 06053; [email protected] Presented at the 100th Spring Meeting of the AAVSO, May 22, 2011; �������������eceived June 29, 2011; revised September 13, 2011; accepted November 22, 2011 Abstract The career of professional astronomer and AAVSO member Dorrit Hoffleit is summarized, highlighting her myriad contributions to variable star astronomy. 1. Early life The daughter of German immigrants Fred and Kate Sanio Hoffleit, Ellen Dorrit Hoffleit was born on her father’s farm in Alabama on March 12, 1907. According to Dorrit, her father named her Ellen, her mother named her Dorrit, and in her words, “the woman in the house always has her way” (Larsen 2009). After a suspicious fire destroyed the family farmhouse when Dorrit was still an infant, Fred moved the family to New Castle, Pennsylvania, where he had been working as a bookkeeper for the Pennsylvania Railroad. The marriage eventually fell apart and Fred moved back to the farm by himself when Dorrit was nine years old. Dorrit recounted that watching Perseid meteors with her older brother Herbert was an important step towards becoming an astronomer (Hoffleit 1994). As a child, Dorrit fell into her brilliant older brother’s shadow, facing constant comparisons from teachers who were impressed with his natural talent for languages. Dorrit was deeply proud of her brother, who received a Ph.D. from Harvard in Classics at the young age of twenty-one, and subsequently became a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.

  • 373 J. Neyman AUTOMATIC COMPUTING MACHINERY
    automatic computing machinery 373 During World War II the values of L(h,k,r) became necessary in connection with cer- tain work in the Statistical Laboratory under a contract with the Applied Mathematics Panel, N.D.R.C. However, for the most part, the values needed corresponded to h, and k exceeding the range of the table then available. Also, the requisite values of r were extremely close to ±1 in which region interpolation in Pearson's table is difficult. The persistent need of values of L(h,k,r) suggested that it might be useful to solve the difficulty once and for all by computing an extension of Pearson's tables. Dr. Leo Aroian and Dr. Madeline Johnsen (then in the employ of the Statistical Laboratory) were en- trusted with calculating the extension of the tables. Their work was interrupted by the cessation of hostilities in September, 1945, and the subsequent discontinuance of the N.D.R.C. project. Thereafter the work on the tables continued sporadically. Some computa- tions were done by Drs. Aroian and Johnsen. Later on a check of the tables was made in the Statistical Laboratory by Dr. Evelyn Fix. This was followed by extensive recalculations by Miss Mary Woo and Miss Esther Seiden under the direction of Dr. Fix. It is now believed that the errors in the table do not exceed one half unit in the sixth decimal. The combination of the two sets of tables, Karl Pearson's and the new tables, covers the ranges of h,k = 0(.1)4; ±r = 0(.05).95(.01).99.

The packet serves to make the connection between Alabama Course of Study requirements and local history. The Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area (MSNHA) was designated by Congress in 2009 and consists of the six counties that historically were connected to the over-forty-mile stretch of the Tennessee River known as the Muscle Shoals. Those counties are Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Morgan, Franklin, and Colbert. This area of the river has been home to Native Americans for over 12,000 years. Native people first moved through the area as nomadic hunters, staying in rock shelters during their time in the valley. As communities became more settled and began to practice agriculture, they built their own structures along the river. The mussels of the Tennessee River provided a ready and stable food source; huge piles of shells, known as shell middens, dotted the edge of the river. During the historic period, the Cherokee and Chickasaw both called the region home.

The two-month deadline was impractical but the idea seemed appealing and so led to a part of this document. Afterwards, Ben Shen suggested that I finish the job with a description of the two following observatories. I turned these ideas somewhat around and composed a text that starts with the 18th century beginnings of the University and ends in 2007 with the almost certain termination of local ground-based observing.

  • NOAO Annual Report for FY06
    Appendix A NOAO SCIENTIFIC STAFF: FY06 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND FY07 PLANS ¬New appointment in FY06 S Non-NSF (external) funding ±Term ended in FY06 HELMUT A. ABT, Emeritus Astronomer Research Interests Formation and evolution of double stars; publication statistics FY06 Accomplishments: Abt considered the eccentricities of 553 spectroscopic and 616 visual binaries with known orbital elements and dwarf primaries. These show that for long periods (P>275 yrs), all eccentricities are equally probable, indicating that when wide binaries are formed, no single eccentricity is preferred. For shorter periods due to tidal interactions, the highest eccentricities disappear first until, for the shortest periods, only the zeros remain. Abt also considered the papers published in the major journals in five sciences (physics, astronomy, geophysics, mathematics, and chemistry). The numbers of papers published annually since 1970 divided by the numbers of members of the appropriate scientific society (e.g. American Physical Society) are constants, indicating that the numbers of scientific papers depend only on the numbers of research scientists and not upon the quality, sensitivity, or quantity of the instruments and computers that they used. Abt presented talks in China on “Early Chinese Inventions” and “National Astronomical Productivities” at Nanjing University and the Purple Mountain Observatory in Nanjing; “Stellar Disks and the Interstellar Medium” at National Astronomical Observatory, Beijing; “Early Chinese Inventions” at Beijing Normal Univ. Beijing. Abt attended the Seventh Pacific Rim Conference on Stellar Astrophysics in Seoul, South Korea, in November 2005, and gave talks on “The First Six Pacific Rim Conferences” and “Tidal Effects in Binaries.” He attended the Centennial Celebration for Dorrit Hoffleit at Yale Univ.
