 C.O. Lampland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Carl Otto Lampland was born near Hayfield, Minnesota on December 29, 1873.
Lampland also seems to have been very interested in automobiles during his time at Lowell Observatory - he speaks frequently of driving either his or Percival Lowell's car, of going on car trips, or of repairing one or the other of the Observatory's cars.
Lampland died on December 14, 1951 in Flagstaff, Arizona, as a result of a stroke.

This telescope was extensively used by Lampland to make over 10,000 plates of spiral nebulae & star clusters, and to discover supernovae.
Lampland pioneered infra-red radiometry, determining the temperature of Mars & Jupiter, using thermocouples made by W Koblenz of the Bureau of Standards.
Circa 1952, Tombaugh ground & Lampland figured a convex aspherical secondary that directed the light to the lower end of the tube, at the side, but it was used very little, if at all.

In early 1906 Carl Lampland, one of Lowell’s Flagstaff astronomers, suggested that the observatory order a German-made device called a blink comparator.
Built by Carl Zeiss Works, the machine would hold two different plates of the same part of the sky and alternate them rapidly, like two successive frames in a movie.
Lampland used the forty-two-inch telescope to look for satellites circling it but found none.

His studio is located in the C.O. Lampland Dome, known affectionately among Lowell staffers as “Jiffy Pop,” for the chrome-bumper-shiny aluminum surface.
In the early 20th century, when the dome was canvas-covered, mathematician Carl Lampland came to Lowell to search for the so-called Planet X. He used a 40-inch telescope there.
But after the telescope fulfilled its usefulness, it was removed and the dome was to be torn down.

 AAVSO: R Aquarii, Summer 2003 Variable Star Of The Season
In October of 1919, a slit spectrogram of R Aqr taken at Mount Wilson Observatory showed several emission lines revealing a hot gaseous nebula in addition to the M7e spectrum of the long-period variable star.
The nebulosity surrounding the stars, also known as Cederblad 211, was seen in 1921 on photographic plates taken at Lowell Observatory by Carl Lampland.
In 1922, a more complex spectrum whereby three very different spectra were seen: that of the M7e star, the nebula, and a blue companion of spectral type O or B, such as a white dwarf (Mattei and Allen 1979 and references therein).

It includes positions for millions of objects covering about 70 percent of the sky north of +20 Dec. Because the astrometric work for UJ1.0 was done more carefully than for the GSC, I have used these positions alone or in combination with other sources.
These were taken with a 1-meter f/5.5 Newtonian telescope erected at the observatory in 1909.
Even this check wasn't always the last word, since many bright objects are overexposed on the DSS, and the central star is simply not visible.

 The Lowell Observatory, Martian Canals and Photographs.
To deal with such skepticism, Lowell asked two of his assistants, Vesto Slipher (1875-1969) and Carl Lampland (1873-1951) to take photographs of Mars.
That May, Lampland had succeeded in taking a set of photos with surface detail.
We know that Lampland showed the photos to Lowell and Lowell believed the photos proved the canals were real.

Unable to obtain plates sensitive to the red part of the spectrum where the water vapor lines are found, he was forced, at least temporarily, to admit defeat.
Lampland's project was photography of the planet, and in 1905 Lowell announced that his assistant had succeeded in photographing some of the canals, an achievement for which he was awarded the medal of the Royal Photographic Society.
Unfortunately, Lowell was unable to find a way to adequately reproduce Lampland's tiny, delicate images, each only a quarter inch (6 mm) across, and none of the photographs appear in the book.

NGC 2261 is an example of a reflection nebula and was intensely studied by Carl Lampland at the famous Lowell Observatory.
Observations over a 30 year period and detailed records with over 900 photographs led him to believe that the nebula was not variable in synchronisation with the variability of the illuminating star itself.

 Messier Object 1
Heber D. Curtis, in his description of this object based on Lick Observatory photographs, tentatively classified it as a planetary nebula (Curtis 1918), a view which was disproved only in 1933; this mis-classification can still be found in some much newer handbooks.
In 1921, C.O. Lampland of Lowell Observatory, when comparing excellent photographs of the nebula obtained with their 42-inch reflector, found notable motions and changes, also in brightness, of individual components of the nebula, including dramatic changes of some patches near the central pair of stars (Lampland 1921).
The same year, J.C. Duncan of Mt. Wilson Observatory compared photographic plates taken 11.5 years apart, and found that the Crab Nebula was expanding at an average of about 0.2" per year; backtracing of this motion showed that this expansion must have begun about 900 years ago (Duncan 1921).

Shortly after his arrival, Pettit was assigned the task of constructing vacuum thermocouples in order to measure radiation from stars and planets.
This work, done in collaboration with Seth Nicholson, was in response to the effort mounted at Lowell Observatory by William W. Coblentz and Carl O. Lampland.
After six months, Pettit became adept at constructing the tiny thermocouples and the Mount Wilson astronomers soon caught up with the Lowell workers.

Coblentz was the first to look at the thermal infrared spectra of a variety of rocks and minerals.
Coblentz and his colleague Carl O. Lampland were among the first to point thermal infrared radiometers at Mars.
With an average temperature below 0 degrees C (32 degrees F), they found that Mars is a chilly planet, although sometimes in summer the temperatures can rise above freezing.

Obtaining a Lawrence College Fellowship at Lowell Observatory, Duncan spent the years 1905-6 in Flagstaff beginning the photographic search for the traps-Neptunian planet that would later be found by Tombaugh in 1930.
His career settled into the teaching of astronomy, first for 35 years at Wellesley College and then for 12 years is a Visiting Professor at the University of Arizona until his final retirement in 1962, acknowledged as the developer of important astronomical instruction aids still in use years later.
From 1920 through 1949, Duncan continued to be a visiting astronomer at Mt. Wilson, returning during summers to obtain photographs of deep-sky objects, his finest achievement being the confirmation of C. Lampland's discovery of the expansion of the Crab nebula.

 The Enterprise Mission - Revealing The True Colors of NASA
Here (below) is a comparison of three sets of “tri-color” Mars images -- starting with relatively insensitive photographic plates in 1909, and ending with a three-color CCD series taken in 2001.
Begun by C. Lampland (“CL”) at the Lowell Observatory in 1903, this type of three-color photography has faithfully recorded the differences in albedo (reflectance) between the “light areas” and the “dark areas,” in different color wavelengths, for almost a full century.
What is immediately apparent in these fl and white images is the simple fact that “red” light records the dark surface markings with the highest contrast, while “blue” makes them all but disappear.
