	The Bruce Medalists: Walter Baade
		Born in Germany and educated at Göttingen, Walter Baade worked at the Hamburg Observatory from 1919 to 1931 and at Mt.
		This led to his definition of two stellar populations, to the realization that there were two kinds of Cepheid variable stars, and from there to a doubling of the assumed scale of the universe.
		Baade and Rudolph Minkowski identified and took spectrograms of optical counterparts of many of the first-discovered radio sources, including Cygnus A and Cassiopeia A.

		Begun at Mount Wilson Observatory in 1931, these studies established two major types of stars: the younger, hotter, Population I type and the older, cooler, Population II (see MILKY WAY).
		In his career in Germany prior to 1931, Baade discovered the asteroids Icarus and Hidalgo.

		Almost simultaneously, Wilhelm Struve in Pulkova found the parallax of 0.12 arc seconds for Alpha Lyrae (Vega, at 27 light years) and Thomas Henderson at the Cape Observatory that of Alpha Centauri (0.745 arc seconds).
		In 1944, Walter Baade discovered that the stellar population in different regions of galaxies varies and there are two different stellar populations: Young Population I in spiral arms and irregular galaxies, and old Population II stars in elliptical (and lenticular) galaxies, globular clusters, and the bulges and nuclei of spiral galaxies.
		In 1952, Baade found that Cepheids of two classes exist: Type I Cepheids ("classical" Delta Cephei stars) which are members of population I and Type II Cepheids (W Virginis stars) which are 4 to 5 times fainter.

		The story concerns the young Müller's meeting at a railroad station a very special couple, Hermann Grimm (son of Wilhelm) and his wife who was often known by her unmarried name, Gisela von Arnim.
		This intrinsic neutral gray of these subtle observations was often theorized to be in the cortex, thus fulfilling the first of his psychophysical axioms.
		To improve the physical basis of Hering's equations, Müller attended his colleague Walter Nernst's classes on physical chemistry (one of the side benefits of Göttingen) and apparently was the first to use reversible chemical equations to characterize the breakdown and recombination of photosensitive pigments as early as 1904.

		The data on galactic recession was also used to determine the age and the diameter of the universe, although at the time both of these calculations were marred by erroneous assumptions, which were later corrected by Walter Baade.
		The ratio of the velocity of galactic recession to distance has been named the Hubble constant, and the modern value for the speed of galactic recession is 530 km/330 mi per sec – very close to Hubble's original value of 500 km/310 mi per sec.
		But the importance of his work was not recognized at the time, even by the eminent botanist Karl Wilhelm von Nägeli, to whom Mendel sent a copy of his paper.
