    Chandra and His Students at Yerkes Observatory Donald Ε. Osterbrock

    J. Astrophys. Astr. (1996) 17, 233–268 Chandra and his students at Yerkes Observatory Donald Ε. Osterbrock University of Chicago/Lick Observatory, University of California, Santa Cruz, California 95064. USA Abstract. S. Chandrasekhar’s interactions with graduate students in his more than a quarter century at Yerkes Observatory are described. His graduate teaching, Ph.D. thesis students, colloquia and colloquium series, and seminar series were all important aspects of this side of his scientific research career. His managing editorship of The Astro- physical Journal, his one experience in observational astrophysics, a second paper he wrote describing some of the early observational work at Yerkes Observatory, and a third on “the case for astronomy” are all discussed. A famous myth about one of his courses is corrected, and the circumstances under which the “S. Candlestickmaker” parody was written are recounted. Chandra’s computers, recruited in the Williams Bay community, are mentioned. A complete or nearly complete table of all the thesis students who received their Ph.D. degrees under his supervision, at Yerkes and on the campus in Chicago up through his last one in Astronomy and Astrophysics in 1973, is presented, with references to their published thesis papers. 1 Introduction Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar spent more than a quarter of a century at Yerkes Observatory, a large part of his scientific career. While he was in residence there he wrote four books and more than two hundred papers, moved up the academic hierarchy from research associate to distinguished service professor, and became an American citizen. Other papers in this memorial issue of the Journal of Astro- physics and Astronomy summarize and evaluate Chandra’s research in the many different fields of astrophysics in which he successively worked, each written by a distinguished expert in that field.

    POSITION PROFILE Executive Director Yerkes Future Foundation Williams Bay, Wisconsin ABOUT YERKES FUTURE FOUNDATION The mission of the Yerkes Future Foundation (“YFF”) is to preserve and protect Yerkes Observatory, celebrate its history and continue to foster its goals of research, education and astronomical observation by providing the opportunity to engage to all. YFF is positioning itself as a visionary and forward-thinking organization in the world of astronomy and science. In this next chapter, the goal of YFF is to create breakthrough programs and experiences that advance its mission and vision in powerful new ways resulting in new access to astronomy and science education. Yerkes Observatory also seeks to establish itself as a year-round, world-renowned destination by offering unique ways to engage with the historically significant buildings and grounds, history and STEM learning. In this exciting new chapter for the Observatory, YFF seeks to: 1. Be a place of scientific research that re-captures the underlying academic foundations upon which the Observatory was originally conceived. 2. Be a unique and innovative destination of choice to many thousands of people, beginning with the Wisconsin-Illinois region – and extending far beyond, both nationally and internationally. 3. Influence the life outcomes of its visitors, especially young people. 4. Have a national and international profile – based on a deliberate and intelligent blend of academic and research programs, plus being a thoroughly enjoyable place to visit, either as a casual tourist or as a well-informed seeker of knowledge and adventure. 5. Have educational programs that change people’s viewpoints and thinking and are so profound they are personally motivated to do more – and to share their knowledge with the wider world.

It would be impossible to overstate how essential his insight and mentoring have been to this dissertation and my career in general. Just as important has been his camaraderie, which made the researching and writing of this dissertation infinitely more rewarding. Thanks as well to Bruce Hunt for his support. Especially helpful was his incisive feedback, which both encouraged me to think through my ideas more thoroughly, and reined me in when my writing overshot my argument. I offer my sincerest gratitude to the Smith Richardson Foundation and Yale University International Security Studies for the Predoctoral Fellowship that allowed me to do the bulk of the writing of this dissertation. Thanks also to the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy at Yale University, and John Gaddis and the incomparable Ann Carter-Drier at ISS.

EUGENE PAUL WIGNER November 17, 1902–January 1, 1995 BY FREDERICK SEITZ, ERICH VOGT, AND ALVIN M. WEINBERG UGENE WIGNER WAS A towering leader of modern physics Efor more than half of the twentieth century. While his greatest renown was associated with the introduction of sym- metry theory to quantum physics and chemistry, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for 1963, his scientific work encompassed an astonishing breadth of sci- ence, perhaps unparalleled during his time. In preparing this memoir, we have the impression we are attempting to record the monumental achievements of half a dozen scientists. There is the Wigner who demonstrated that symmetry principles are of great importance in quan- tum mechanics; who pioneered the application of quantum mechanics in the fields of chemical kinetics and the theory of solids; who was the first nuclear engineer; who formu- lated many of the most basic ideas in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry; who was the prophet of quantum chaos; who served as a mathematician and philosopher of science; and the Wigner who was the supervisor and mentor of more than forty Ph.D.
