		Langley, however, was not a traditional astronomer and Abbot was just the type of assistant he wanted to aid his mapping of the infrared spectrum of the Sun, adapting bolometers for photographic recording and determining dispersion standards for rocksalt and fluorite prisms to measure fundamental wavelengths in the infrared region of the solar spectrum.
		Abbot's revision, however, drew criticism from various quarters, mainly from a disgruntled and generally combative Langley protege, but also from two Europeans who argued that the way in which he accounted for atmospheric absorption was incorrect.
		Abbot did study the energy spectra of the stars sporadically in the 1920s, devising a radiometer using housefly wings that measured the distribution of energy in stellar spectra from the 60-inch reflector at Mount Wilson.

		221, Abbot tells of the spectroscopic determinations by which the new star in Perseus (Feb. 22, 1901) was "found" to be at a distance of three hundred light years from this earth.
		Whether as a matter of gallantry, or not, they spread denial for Queen Elizabeth's reputation to tread upon, saving that from the mud of an inquiry into just what Her Majesty was doing, and substituting unromantic speculation upon what, say, Andrew Jackson was up to.
		Abbot's way of explaining the mistake is by attributing the first "pronouncements" to "the roughness of the observations."
