Stellar Atmospheres: a Contribution to the Observational Study of High Temperature in the Reversing Layers of Stars

Abstract

IT is announcedo by the Director of the Harvard College Observatory that, in addition to its Annals, Circulars, and Bulletins, the Observatory will from time to time publish Monographs dealing with subjects in which the Observatory is doing a large amount of original investigation. Unlike the Annals, etc., the Monographs will not be distributed gratis to observatories and others, but special funds are available to enable them to be published at less than cost price. The first volume of the series is Dr. Cecilia Payne's “Stellar Atmospheres.”
