约翰·埃拉德·戈尔(1845-1910)是爱尔兰业余天文学家、多产科学作家及土木工程师。1890年英国天文协会成立时,他是创始成员之一,受邀担任该协会变星部门首任主任。通过严谨推理,戈尔得出了关于恒星性质的诸多极具现代性的结论,包括恒星的大小、距离和光度。本文探讨他是否可能绘制出如今被称为赫茨普龙-罗素(H-R)图的早期形式。
英文摘要
John Ellard Gore (1845-1910) was an Irish amateur astronomer, prolific science writer and civil engineer. He was an inaugural member of the British Astronomical Association when it was founded in 1890 and was invited to become the first Director of its Variable Star Section. Through careful reasoning, Gore reached remarkably modern conclusions about the nature of stars, including their sizes, distances and luminosities. This paper explores whether he might have been able to produce an early form of what is now known as the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram.
