Arthur F. Davidsen papers, 1950-2001.
This collection of papers represents the professional scientific career of Arthur F. Davidsen, including his research data, lecture and teaching materials, and professional correspondence. Davidsen's papers also include proposals to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the development of telescope instruments, and record his efforts to establish the Space Telescope Science Institute at Johns Hopkins University. One notable series in this collection reveals the development of the Faint Object Spectrograph, an instrument used on the Hubble Space Telescope for the detection of distant astrophysical sources from the near ultraviolet to the near infrared on the visible spectrum.
Arthur F. Davidsen was a professor of physics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University and a member of the principal professional staff of the university's Applied Physics Laboratory.
