	Bart Bok - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bart Jan Bok (Hoorn, April 28, 1906 – Tucson, August 5, 1983) was a Dutch-American astronomer.
		Bart Bok was an exceedingly popular personality in the field of astronomy, noted for his affability and humor, as well as his capacity for drinks.
		Bok crater on Mars is named for a geographical location in Papua New Guinea and not for him.

	Bok, Bartholomeus ("Bart") Jan (1906-1983)
		The latter part of his career was spent at the University of Arizona, where he directed the Steward Observatory from 1966 to 1970.
		Working closely with his wife, Priscilla Fairfield Bok, he studied the structure and evolution of star clusters and the Galaxy, mapping the spiral arms of the Milky Way, especially in the Carina region, and the Magellanic Clouds.
		Bok initiated radio astronomy at Harvard and promoted it elsewhere.

		In 1947, Bart Bok suggested that the small dark globules of interstellar gas and dust were undergoing collapse on their way to forming new stars.
		Bok globules have characteristic radii of 103-105 AU.
		The clouds, which are known as Bok globules after the astronomer who first described them, are so thick that they absorb the light from stars or gas clouds behind them.

		Bok also discovered small, circular dark spots, which were best observed against a bright background.
		Bok suggested that the globules were clouds of gas in the process of condensation and that stars might be in the early stages of formation there.

	The Stuff Stars are Made of :: Astrobiology Magazine ::
		Summary (Jun 26, 2005): Named after Harvard University astronomer Bart Bok, Bok globules may not be the most romantic sounding phrase in astronomy, but they are widely accepted as an important step in the formation of new stars.
		Bok suggested that certain isolated and distinct globules obscuring background light in space were in fact evidence of an important preliminary stage in the formation of protostellar disks leading to the birth of stars such as our sun.
		Once candidate Bok globules were selected, the team subjected each of them to a battery of observations designed to determine their mass, density, temperature, size, and if possible, the amount of pressure applied on them by the ISM and neighboring starlight.

		These opaque, dark knots of gas and dust are called "Bok globules," and they are absorbing light in the center of the nearby emission nebula and star-forming region, NGC 281.
		Bok hypothesized that giant molecular clouds, on the order of hundreds of light-years in size, can become perturbed and form small pockets where the dust and gas are highly concentrated.
		The Bok globules in NGC 281 are located very close to the center of the IC 1590 cluster.

		Bok, who became a U.S. citizen in 1938, was the driving force in creating observational definitions of the Milky Way and other phenomena of galaxies.
		Bok was one of a number of Dutch-born astronomers who have had distinguished research careers in the United States.
		Tucson-based writer and amateur astronomer Levy is candid about Bok's life, work, and disputes; however, his writing is occasionally awkward, and the work lacks any overall analysis of Bok's accomplishments.

	physics4u - Αστέρια υπό κατασκευήν σε σφαιρίδια Bok
		Το 1947, ο αστρονόμος του Χάρβαρντ Bart Jan Bok ανήγγειλε το αποτέλεσμα μια μελέτης πολλών ετών για περιοχές ψυχρών αερίων και σκόνης που συχνά συνδέονταν με εκτεταμένα νεφελώματα.
		Ο Bok πρότεινε ότι ορισμένα απομονωμένα και ευδιάκριτα σφαιρίδια, που κρύβουν το φως του υποβάθρου, ήταν στην πραγματικότητα στοιχεία ενός σημαντικού προκαταρκτικού σταδίου στο σχηματισμό των πρωτοαστρικών δίσκων, τα οποία οδηγούν στη γέννηση των άστρων όπως ο ήλιός μας.
		Μετά από την ανακοίνωση του Bok, αναπτύχθηκαν πολλά μοντέλα για να εξηγήσουν πώς από τα σφαιρίδια Bok θα μπορούσαν να σχηματιστούν τα αστέρια.

	* Globule - (Astronomy): Definition
		A globule is an interstellar cloud of dust and hydrogen gas that contracts and undergoes gravitational collapse to form a star.
		Small, dark clouds only about 1 light year in diameter that contain 10-1000 solar masses of gas and dust.
		They tend to lie in regions of much dust but less gas than would be expected for star-forming regions.

	American Scientist Online - Bart Bok's Black Blobs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Whereas the process of star formation in a giant molecular cloud is hidden in the confusion of complex turbulence and strong magnetic fields, the action inside a Bok globule is believed to be much simpler.
		About 99 percent of the Bok globule consists of hydrogen and helium, both of which are fairly sedate in the chilly (16 degrees above absolute zero) environs of Barnard 68, and so offer few clues about the cloud.
		Using the Very Large Telescope and the New Technology Telescope, both in the Chilean Andes, Alves and his colleagues were able to measure the degree to which the dust extinguished light coming from stars behind the cloud.
