Centenary of Arthur Auwers, For.Mem.R.S
Abstract
ON September 12 occurs the centenary of the birth of the distinguished German astronomer Georg Friedrich Julius Arthur Auwers, whose work led to the founding of the Bradley Medal of the Berlin Academy of Sciences and to whom British astronomers, to mark the fiftieth anniversary of his doctor's degree, presented a copy of Richardson's portrait of Bradley in the possession of the Royal Society. This association of the name of Auwers with Bradley sprang from his life's work on the observation of stars and the formation of star catalogues.
