Young, Charles Augustus

Young, Charles Augustus,

1834–1908, American astronomer, b. Hanover, N.H., grad. Dartmouth, 1853. He discovered the reversing layer of the solar atmosphere and proved the gaseous nature of the sun's corona. He was a pioneer in the study of the spectrum of the sun and experimented in photographing solar prominences in full sunlight. He was professor (1857–66) of astronomy, natural philosophy, and mathematics at Western Reserve College (now Case Western Reserve Univ.), professor of astronomy and natural philosophy at Dartmouth College (1866–77), and professor of astronomy at Princeton (1877–1905). His works include The Sun (1881, rev. ed. 1896), Lessons in Astronomy (1891, rev. ed. 1918), and The Elements of Astronomy (1890, rev. ed. 1919).

Young, Charles Augustus

Born Dec. 15, 1834, in Hanover, N.H.; died there Jan. 3, 1908. American astronomer. Member of the National Academy of Sciences (1872).

From 1877 to 1905, Young was a professor at Princeton University. He specialized in the study of the sun. He established the gaseous nature of the solar corona and discovered the green line in the spectrum of the corona. He was the first to observe a flare spectrum. Young carried out spectroscopic studies of the chromosphere, prominences, and sunspots.
