LEIDEN OBSERVATORY INTERNATIONAL MASTERS AND SCHOOLARSHIPS

Professor of Astronomy Frederick Kaiser (1808-1872) The first paid-for post of observer in the Netherlands. Director of Leiden Observatory in 1837.

Leiden Observatory (1861) 12

Frederick Kaiser (1808-1872) De Sitter ( 1872 - 1934) – The De Sitter model Oort (1900-1992) – He mapped the distribution of HI gas in the Galaxy with the 21 cm line Blaauw (1914 – 2014) – Stellar associations, clusters high-velocity stars van der Hulst (1918 – 2000) - The predicted the existence of the 21 cm hyperfine line of neutral interstellar hydrogen

1951 detection of the 21-centimeter radio emission from interstellar hydrogen spectral line at radio frequencies. 1958, distribution of neutral hydrogen in the Galactic System. The maximum densities in the z-direction are projected on the galactic plane, and contours are drawn through the points (1958 MNRAS 118, 379).
