  Wolf, Maximilian Franz Joseph   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Wolf was born and educated in Heidelberg, where he spent most of his career, becoming professor 1893.
Wolf was the first to use time-lapse photography in astronomy, a technique he used for detecting asteroids.
Independently of US astronomer Edward Barnard, Wolf discovered that the dark 'voids' in the Milky Way are in fact nebulae which are obscured by vast quantities of dust, and he studied their spectral characteristics and distribution.

 Wolf 424 AB
Wolf 424 A and B are not visible to the naked eye, either combined or individually, but the smaller companion star may be one of the most active (UV-Ceti type) Flare Stars -- Star B is designated FL Virginis -- known (Thomas J.
The stars were discovered by Max (Maximilian Franz Joseph Cornelius) Wolf (1863-1932), a pioneer of astrophotography who discovered hundreds of variable stars and asteroids, and about 5,000 nebulae by analyzing photographic plates and developing the "dry plate" in 1880 and the "blink comparator" in 1900 with the Carl Zeiss optics company in Jena, Germany.
Subsequently, new measurements of the relative positions of the components of Wolf 424 AB (made with the Fine Guidance Sensors of the Hubble Space Telescope in 1996), however, indicated that both are actually low-mass red dwarf stars (Torres et al, 1999).

 Wolf 359
It was discovered photographically by Max (Maximilian Franz Joseph Cornelius) Wolf (1863-1932), a pioneer of astrophotography who discovered hundreds of variable stars and asteroids, and about 5,000 nebulae by analyzing photographic plates and developing the "dry plate" in 1880 and the "blink comparator" in 1900 with the Carl Zeiss optics company in Jena, Germany.
Flares on Wolf 359, however, are rarer and not as violent as those observed on Proxima Centauri, Kruger 60 B, or UV Ceti.
Wolf 359 is a flare star, like UV Ceti (Luyten 726-8 B) shown flaring at left.

 Charles D'Wolf of Guadaloupe - Preface
Baron Charles de Wolf, Maximilian's eldest son, joined the cause of the Belgian people in their revolt against Spain at the time of the revolution in the Lowlands, in 1579.
The Barons de Wolf, of Belgium, are closely related to the best known families of the Kingdom, and have intermarried during the past three centuries with the scions of the oldest aristocracy.
In the case of the de Wolfs the proof of their noble origin lies in the fact that the several branches of the family have borne coat-of arms for-centuries.

Wolf 424 B has approximately 13% of the mass of the sun, 14% of the diameter of the sun and only 8/100,000e of the luminosity of the sun.
Wolf 424 A is a very small star, having less than 17% of the diameter of the sun and approximately 14% of the mass of the sun, very cold, one of the least luminous stars in the vicinity of the sun.
Wolf 424 A and B are just on the border between star and non-star, among the smallest known stars.

 Skeleton Key, a story
In 1891 Wolf revolutionized the technique of hunting asteroids by mounting a wide-angle camera to his telescope and opening the aperture for two or three hours.
As for Wolf himself, there was little of a personal note, regardless of his discoveries of asteroids, and the solitary small comet which bears his name.
Like Wolf discovered, any small object, given a long enough exposure time, will show up as a line of light against the stars, which, because of their distance, show no relative motion.

 Asteroid Summary
In 1891 the German astronomer Maximilian Wolf (1863-1932) began using photographic techniques to search for asteroids.
In 1891, however, Max Wolf pioneered the use of astrophotography to detect asteroids, which appeared as short streaks on long-exposure photographic plates.
This drastically increased the rate of detection compared with previous visual methods: Wolf alone discovered 248 asteroids, beginning with 323 Brucia, whereas only slightly more than 300 had been discovered up to that point.
