  • Historical Remarks
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-01579-1 - Introduction to Astronomical Spectroscopy Immo Appenzeller Excerpt More information 1 Historical Remarks The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to present-day astro- nomical spectroscopy. Thus, this chapter on the historical development will be restricted to a brief outline of selected milestones that provided the basis for the contemporary techniques and that are helpful for an understanding of the present terminologies and conventions. The reader interested in more details of the historic evolution of astronomical spectroscopy may find an extensive treatment of this topic in two excellent books by John Hearnshaw (1986, 2009). Additional information can be found in older standard works on astronomical spectroscopy, which were published by Hiltner (1964), Carleton (1976), and Meeks (1976). Apart from (still up-to-date) historical sections, these books pro- vide extensive descriptions of methods that have been used in the past, before they were replaced by the more efficient contemporary techniques. 1.1 Early Pioneers Astronomy is known for its long history. Accurate quantitative measurements of stellar positions and motions were already carried out millennia ago. On the other hand, spectroscopy is a relatively new scientific tool. It became important for astronomical research only during the past 200 years. The late discovery of spectroscopy may have been due to the scarcity of natural phenomena in which light is decomposed into its different colors. Moreover, for a long time the known natural spectral effects were not (or not correctly) understood. A prominent example is the rainbow. Reports of rainbows and thoughts about their origin are found in the oldest known written texts, and in most parts of the world almost everybody alive has seen this phenomenon.

    Nachlass EDUARD SCHÖNFELD (1828-1891) Inhaltsverzeichnis Bearbeitet von Anne Hoffsümmer und Lea Korb Bonn, 2017 – 2018 zuletzt aktualisiert am 09.09.2020 Eduard Schönfeld wurde am 22.12.1828 in Hildburghausen geboren, wo er bis zu seinem Abitur 1847 die Schule besuchte. Er war Kind einer jüdischen Familie, trat jedoch nach seinem Schulabschluss dem evangelischen Glauben bei. Auf Anraten seines Vaters studierte Schönfeld zunächst Bauwesen, entschied sich aber nach kurzer Zeit für die Naturwissenschaften und begann, in Marburg bei dem Gauß-Schüler Christian Ludwig Gerling unter anderem Astronomie zu studieren. Nachdem Schönfeld auf einer Reise nach Bonn Bekanntschaft mit Friedrich Wilhelm August Argelander gemacht hatte, entschloss er sich, das Studium der Astronomie 1852 in Bonn fortzusetzen. Dort erhielt er schon ein Jahr später eine Stelle als Assistent, durch die er die Möglichkeit erhielt, gemeinsam mit Adalbert Krüger an der bekannten „Bonner Durchmusterung“, Argelanders großem Projekt, mitzuwirken. Mit einer Abhandlung über die Bahnelemente des Kleinplaneten Thetis promovierte Schönfeld 1854. Seine Habilitation folgte drei Jahre später. Eduard Schönfeld zog 1859 nach Mannheim, um dort die Stelle als Direktor der Mannheimer Sternwarte anzutreten. In der Mannheimer Zeit widmete er sich unter anderem der Bestimmung der Positionen von Nebelflecken mithilfe des Ringmikrometer. Eduard Schönfeld war Mitbegründer und Vorstandsmitglied der Astronomischen Gesellschaft sowie lange Jahre ihr Schriftführer und Herausgeber der Vierteljahrsschrift. Nach Argelanders Tod im Jahr 1875 übernahm Schönfeld dessen Stelle als Direktor der Bonner Sternwarte und ergänzte die Arbeit zur Bonner Durchmusterung, indem er die Bereiche -2°- -23° der südlichen Deklination erforschte. 1883 wurde er Geheimer Regierungsrat und war 1887/88 Rektor der Universität Bonn.

The collection begins with ‘Mémoires sur l’action mutuelle de deux courans électriques’, Ampère’s “first great memoir on electrody- namics” (DSB), representing his first response to the demonstration on 21 April 1820 by the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) that electric currents create magnetic fields; this had been reported by François Arago (1786- 1853) to an astonished Académie des Sciences on 4 September.

  • Shears Ellard Gore
    John Ellard Gore: ‘of immensity and minuteness’1 Jeremy Shears John Ellard Gore FRAS, MRIA (1845−1910) was an Irish amateur astronomer and prolific author of popular astronomy books. His main observational interest was variable stars, of which he discovered several, and he served as the first Director of the BAA Variable Star Section. He was also interested in binary stars, leading him to calculate the orbital elements of many such systems. He demonstrated that the companion of Sirius, thought by many to be a dark body, was in fact self-luminous. In doing so he provided the first indication of the enormous density of what later became known as white dwarfs. Introduction were descended from Sir Paul Gore (1567−1629), who was born in London and went to Ireland in John Ellard Gore (1845−1910; Figure 1) was an 1602 as a commander of a troop of horse.

  • Who Really Invented Lenses? It Is Generally Held That a Dutch
    Who really invented lenses? It is generally held that a Dutch spectacle maker, Hans Lippershey, invented the telescope in 1608. But the origin of the lens itself is shrouded in mystery. In 1850, archeologist John Layard discovered what looks to be a lens at a site he was excavating at the palace of Nimrud in what is now Iraq. So could the first lens date to the ancient Assyrians? That would make lenses about 3000 years older than had been thought. According to Professor Giovanni Pettinato of the University of Rome, this rock crystal "lens", on display in the British museum, could explain why the ancient Assyrians knew so much about astronomy. But this artifact from Nimrud is not totally unique in the ancient world. Another artifact that appears to be a lens dating from roughly the 5th century BC was found in a cave on Mount Ida on Crete. It is more powerful and of better quality than the Nimrud lens. Also, the Roman writers Pliny and Seneca both referred to a lens used by an engraver in Pompeii. There are many similar lenses from ancient Egypt, Greece and Babylon. The ancient Romans and Greeks filled glass spheres with water to make lenses. Glass lenses were not thought of until the 13th century. This is when Roger Bacon used parts of glass spheres as magnifying glasses and recommended them to be used to help people read. Roger Bacon got his inspiration from Alhazen in the 10th century. He discovered that light reflects from objects and does not get released from them.

  • John Louis Emil Dreyer – a Short Biography Dr
    John Louis Emil Dreyer – A Short Biography Dr. Wolfgang Steinicke, FRAS The Danish astronomer Dreyer was the most influential cataloguer of nebulae and clusters in the 19th century.1 He is the creator of the famous New General Catalogue (NGC), published in 1888. He also made major historical contributions, especially about Tycho Brahe. Copenhagen Johan Ludvig Emil Dreyer (in English later: John Louis Emil) was born on 13 February 1852 in Copenhagen (Fig. 1). Many of his ancestors served in the army and navy. His father, Johan Christopher Friedrich Dreyer,2 became Danish Minister of War and the Navy in 1864. Also three of Dreyer’s sons kept this tradition, e.g. Frederic Charles Dreyer as Admiral of the Royal Navy. But the Dreyer with whom we are concerned obviously took a very different path, becoming an eminent astronomer. He attended school in Copenhagen and was initially interested in languages, history and science. At the age of 14 he got a book about Tycho Brahe, from which originated his lifetime fascination for the great Danish astronomer. Now his aim was to study astronomy. Dreyer often visited the new Copenhagen Observatory at Østervold; especially Schjellerup took care of the interested pupil. Even at that time, his talent for observations and precise analyses had already appeared. Fig. 1: John Louis Emil Dreyer (1852–1926) during his time in Armagh. In 1869, at the age of 17, Dreyer began his study of mathematics and astronomy at Copenhagen University. There he was particularly fascinated by the lectures of Heinrich Ludwig d’Arrest, director of the observatory.
