Appendix A Curriculum Vitae, Publications, Honors, Students and Academic Genealogy Do I ever get tired of writing? No. I can do it sitting down, can’t I? Simon Vestdijk (1898–1971) A.1 Curriculum Vitae Figures A.1 and A.2 show Oort’s curriculum vitae as he has written it himself. From the years quoted, it can be concluded that he compiled this after he had turned seventy. A.2 Publications by J.H. Oort The bibliography of Oort below is taken from the JKM-Inventory [1] by J.K. Katgert- Merkelijn, which contains a complete list of all Oort’s publications. The list below is not complete but contains only the papers referred to in this book. The original list in the JKM-Inventory [1] (appendix, starting on p. 161) covers the period of 1922– 1992 and was compiled first by Dini Ondei-Beneker, Oort’s longtime secretary, and by Jay Ekers, Willem N. Brouw and Hugo van Woerden, for the Liber Amicorum, LibAm80 [2], of 1980 and has been updated and revised by Dini Ondei and Jet Katgert- Merkelijn. The original designations as in the JKM-Inventory [1] have been kept, so e.g. Oort (1981d) is for his autobiographical essay in the Annual Review, AnnRev81 Dutch writer. No Dutch or Flemish author ever won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Vestdijk prob- ably came closest; between 1950 and 1966, for which the Nobel archives are public, he has been nominated fifteen times. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 621 P.

It must have been produced after he turned seventy [3] There are a few additions to this list. The first one—Oort (1921)—is a Dutch article about Kapteyn that he wrote as a student in 1921 and that has been published in the yearbook (studentenalmanak) of the student association Vindicat atque Polit Appendix A: Curriculum Vitae, Publications, Honors, Students … 623 Fig. A.2 Oort’s own text for his c.v.–continued in Groningen. Other additions are Oort (1925g), Oort (1943g) and Oort (1951l). The contributions of Oort to the OECD Symposium on Large Radio Telescopes in Paris in 1961, have been quoted incompletely in the JKM-Inventory [1]. Only 1962j was identified there as the conference contribution, 1962k was identified as a BCAP Memo, but not as part of this conference, while 1962l and 1962m are new additions here. Many, but far from all, of these publications have been listed by the NASA Astron- omy Data System ADS (see Appendix C.1) and usually scanned copies are available there. I have indicated the ADS code at the end of the full reference between square brackets. Another source, which does require access arrangements, is the non-profit organization JSTOR at jstor.org. The publications by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) are made available on the Digital Library—Dutch His- tory of science web centre [384].
