		George A. Van Biesbroeck (or Georges-Achille Van Biesbroeck) (January 21, 1880 – February 23, 1974) was a Belgian-American astronomer.
		The asteroid 1781 Van Biesbroeck is named after him, as are Van Biesbroeck crater on the Moon and the red dwarf Van Briesboeck's Star (Wolf 1055 AB).
		The George Van Biesbroeck Prize, awarded by the American Astronomical Society, is named in his honor as well.

	Wolf 1055 AB / Van Biesbroeck's Star
		Both Stars A and B are flare stars, but the fainter member of the system was once thought to be low enough in mass to be a possible brown dwarf and is now commonly referred to as "Van Biesbroeck's Star" (or VB 10) after its discovery in 1940 by George Van Biesbroeck (1880-1974).
		Wolf 1055 A and its companion Van Biesbroeck's Star have a combined mass of over half of Sol's but less than 11/100,000th of its brightness.
		For Van Biesbroeck's Star, the orbital distance would be 0.0017 AUs (again, without accounting for infrared heating), and a planetary orbit around the star would be completed in a matter of hours.

	Van Biesbroeck 8
		A nearby, low-luminosity star which appears in the catalogue of ultrafaint objects discovered by astronomer George van Biesbroeck.
		In 1984, independent announcements were made of the discovery of an unseen companion, van Biesbroeck 8b (VB 8b), which was suspected of being a brown dwarf.
		The claims were made by Robert Harrington of the U.S. Naval Observatory, based on astrometric observations, and by Donald McCarthy and colleagues at the University of Arizona, from a study using infrared speckle interferometry.

		On the one hand there were the "professional" astronomers, typified by Sir George Airy (the Astronomer Royal) and university professors, who were firmly in favour of refractors.

		At the Yerkes Observatory at Williams Bay, Wis., a badger-like Belgian, Professor George Van Biesbroeck, squatted in his dusky cavern, mapping what he could see, through Earth's shaking atmosphere, of the 1926 Martian geography.
		He disregarded the two little moons that circle Mars (the inner one twice daily) and concentrated on the dark-stained areas of its surface which remain fairly constant in their own cycle of changes and seem to indicate the existence of seasons on Mars—a 340-day summer and 347-day winter.

		Citing "his outstanding, unselfish dedication to making the Hubble Space Telescope one of the most scientifically productive telescopes of all time," the American Astronomical Society (AAS) announced that Dr. Rodger Doxsey of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., will receive the 2004 George Van Biesbroeck Prize.
		The prize "honors a living individual for long-term extraordinary or unselfish service to astronomy, often beyond the requirements of his or her paid position." The announcement was made last week at the AAS winter meeting in Atlanta, Ga. Doxsey is the second institute scientist to win the award.
		The award is named for astronomer George Van Biesbroeck (1880-1974), who studied minor planets, comets, satellites, and double stars.

		In its citation, the Van Biesbroeck Prize committee credited Doxsey with helping to make Hubble a success.
		He has worked unselfishly for 22 years to make Hubble the greatest scientific facility in the world, and I am delighted that the AAS has rewarded him with the Van Biesbroeck prize, a most appropriate award to someone who has given his life to enabling others to do great science.
