Three great stellar spectroscopists who were outstanding mentors and role models for my career
In an earlier Cosmic Diary article (28 May) I wrote about three great astronomical photometrists whom I had known. In this article I will write about three influential spectroscopists who guided me in my career and who have had a profound influence on me. All three were not only great scientists, but also great friends. They were Ted Dunham, Giusa Cayrel and Jun Jugaku. As the last two are still alive, I will write mainly about Theodore Dunham (not that my remarks should cause any embarrassment to the living!).
