	Russell, Henry Norris (1877-1957)
		Russell spent six decades at Princeton University — as student, professor, observatory director (1912-47), and active professor emeritus.
		With Walter Adams, Russell applied Meghnad Saha’s theory of ionization to stellar atmospheres and determined elemental abundances, confirming Celia Payne-Gaposchkin’s discovery that the stars are composed mostly of hydrogen.
		Known as the “Dean of American astronomers,” Russell was a dominant force in the community as a teacher, writer, and advisor.

		Russell is the lava-flooded remains of a lunar impact crater.
		Russell's career as the first astrophysical theorist in America was, in part, a reflection of McCosh's liberalization of Princeton and his elevation of science as a practice based upon a balance of intuition and observation.
		Henry Norris Russell described himself as "a man half of Puritan and half of Lowland Scots stock." His father, Alexander Gatherer Russell, was born in Musquodoboit, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, on 6 October 1845, the son of a minister and a descendant of Elgin weavers.

	Russell, Henry Norris (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Russell was born in Oyster Bay, New York, and studied at Princeton, where in 1905 he was made professor and director of the observatory.
		Russell put forward the theory that all stars progress at one time or another either up or down the main sequence, depending on whether they are contracting (and therefore becoming hotter) or expanding (thus cooling), but the progression he proposed was discredited within a decade.
		Russell's lifelong study of binary stars resulted in a method for calculating the mass of each star from a study of its orbital behaviour.

		Henry Norris Russell was born in Oyster Bay, New York on October 25, 1877.
		Russell's continual investigation of binary stars resulted in a procedure for calculating the mass of each star by studying its orbital behavior.
		Russell's research into eclipsing binary stars (were one moves in front of the other, from Earth's point of view) led to the accumulation of valuable data on variations in light emission.

	Henry Norris Russell Papers Finding Aid
		Russell's colleagues often sought his opinion of their work, and some 175 manuscripts are interspersed with the incoming letters.
		Russell's lectures took him to the borders of astronomy, and his notes are sometimes closer to working calculations than finished presentations.
		Russell's editorial comments should be distinguished from the notes he took for his own use; which are filed under research notes.

	Sample Chapter for DeVorkin, D.H.: Henry Norris Russell: Dean of American Astronomers.
		The environment Russell was born and raised in, and would eventually take for his own, promoted a "passion to reveal the secrets of nature by probing deeper and deeper into the physical world." Such striving had deep religious and moral underpinnings, connected to a natural theology that looked for traces of the divine in nature.
		Russell's outlook was typical for his day: the physicist Robert Millikan, eldest of three sons of a Congregationalist minister, held deeply religious convictions and, like Russell, wrote on science and religion.
		Russell's passion helped to secure the endorsement of fifteen presbyteries, but the Nassau petition was not carried at the General Assembly in 1889, nor in 1900 when Russell and his presbytery tried again, allied with the Union Theological Seminary.

		Russell was born in 1877 in the cloistered Long Island, New York, village of Oyster Bay, where his father, Alexander Gatherer Russell, a Presbyterian minister, attracted to his congregation such luminaries as Theodore Roosevelt Sr.
		Russell's early work on binary stars, much of it conducted with the assistance of his gifted protégé Harlow Shapley, led to the first systematic analysis of the variation of light received from these eclipsing bodies.
		In the 1920s, when he was at the height of his powers, Russell initiated a series of quantitative investigations on the absorption-line spectrum of the Sun that enabled scientists to determine the abundance of various chemicals in the solar atmosphere.

	Russell, Henry Norris
		Russell, Henry Norris (1877-1957), for many years the leading theoretical astronomer in America, was graduated from Princeton in 1897 at the age of nineteen insigni cum laude (with extraordinary honor(-- a designation by the Faculty never used before or since.
		Russell pioneered in the use of atomic physics for the analysis of the stars and thus played a principal part in laying the foundations of present-day astrophysics.
		Russell's position as America's leading astronomer was recognized by his presidency of the American Astronomical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Philosophical Society.

		In February 1924, at the invitation of C. Chant, Russell presented a set of 14 public lectures on the state of astronomy and astrophysics.
		Designed to be inspirational, they also reveal Russell's contemporary views on the state of astrophysics as well as his sense of proper practice in astronomy.
		During his visit, Russell was interviewed by local reporters who asked his opinion about building a large observatory, one of Chant's major projects.

		By 1910 the American astronomer Henry Norris Russell found that red stars fell into two main groups - giants and dwarfs.
		The Danish astronomer Ejnar Hertzsprung had made the same discovery in 1906, and a diagram mapping a star's brightness against its temperature, one of the most important tools available to the astrophysicist, is now called the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
		White dwarfs are the end-products of the life cycle of a star: once a star cannot generate the radiation pressure to hold itself up, it collapses spectacularly.

		Henry Norris Russell lived in two universes: that of his Presbyterian forebears and that of his science.
		Today, professional and amateur astronomers alike know Russell for the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, the playing field for much of stellar astrophysics, as well as for his work on the evolution of stars and the origin of the solar system.
		This first-ever book-length biography of the "Dean of American Astronomers" interweaves personal and scientific history to illuminate how Russell's privileged Presbyterian family background, his education at Princeton and Cambridge, and his personal inclinations and attachments both served and were at odds with his campaign to modernize astronomy.

		She correctly posited that silicon, carbon, and other common metals seen in the sun were found in about the same relative amounts as on earth but the helium and particularly hydrogen were vastly more abundant (by about a factor of one million in the case of hydrogen).
		This result disagreed with earlier theories, and when she sent a draft of her paper to Dr. Henry Norris Russell, he replied that such a result was "clearly impossible." Russell had an earlier paper which argued that if the earth's crust were heated to the temperature of the sun the spectrum would look the same.
		Deferring to Russell's stature as an astronomer, Cecilia added the comment that her results were "almost certainly not real." Within a few short years most other astronomers had come around to believe that hydrogen was far more abundant in the sun than in earth.

		So it was Eijnar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell, who independently did just that.
		(Such a diagram was first made by Russell in 1913.) Bright stars are represented by points near the top of the diagram, faint stars by points near the bottom, red stars at the right, and white ones at the left.
		Since Russell first drew the diagram in 1913, it has come to be known as the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram to honor Eijnar Hertzsprung who was developing it at the same time.

		A star with a large surface area could radiate a significant amount of light at low temperatures, so those very bright stars had to be giants.
