Menzel and Aller, obtaining their results from a study of "enhanced" and "forbidden" lines in the spectra of planetaries, view the new findings as confirming their belief that the same proportion of elements make up all things in the universe...
Died. Dr. Annie Jump Cannon, 77, world's leading woman astronomer, called the "Census Taker of the Sky" because during her lifelong researches at Harvard observatory she methodically counted up, according to their spectra, almost 400,000 stellar bodies; in Cambridge, Mass...
King of the atomic world at Westinghouse is Dr. Edward Uhler Condon, Coauthor of Quantum Mechanics and The Theory of Atomic Spectra, a distinguished theoretical physicist at Princeton before going to East Pittsburgh two years...
...exchanged in separate, indivisible bundles called quanta, quantum mechanics has been powerfully developed by such giants of physics as Bohr, de Broglie, Heisenberg, Schrodinger and Dirac (Nobel Prizewinners all). It has interpreted the laws of radiation, the laws of specific heat, the details of atomic, molecular and X-ray spectra...
...problem of using light for spectra more efficiently has goaded skygazers for years. Astronomers at Mt. Wilson and California Institute of Technology were putting their money last week on a device called an "image-slicer," invented by Caltech's quiet, brilliant Ira Sprague Bowen. No bigger than a child's fist, this gadget splits up the blobby image of a star or nebula into a number of thin strips by means of a combination of mirrors which feed each one of the strips through the one-thousandth-inch spectroscope slit. After passing through, these slices of light...
