Ebbighausen, E. G. (Edwin George), 1911-
E. G. Ebbighausen response to History of Modern Astrophysics Survey, 1980.
Questionnaire with brief, typed responses and four double-sided pages of addendum. The first addenda is entitled Impressions of Some Astronomers, in which Ebbighausen reminiscences about his years at Yerkes Observatory with Otto Struve, William W. Morgan, Philip Keenan, Gerard Kuiper, Bengt Stomgren, Gordon Wares, George Van Biesbroeck and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, from whom he took classes. There is a much shorter autobiographcal addenda called The Discovery of the large Proper Motion Star B.D.+5 1668 in which Willem J. Luyten also figures prominently. Recipients were asked to discuss their decision to enter astronomy; their work during the Second World War; their professional work outside astronomy; the fields in which they have been most active, the advances in both those fields and others, and their own accomplishments and satisfactions; sources of funding; their perceptions of public attitudes; the influence of religion or philosophy on their work as astronomers; and their opinions on questions relating to the Big Bang Theory, cosmology, up-coming important developments, and the search for extraterrrestrial intelligence.
