The Determination of Stellar Temperatures From Baron B. Harkányi to the Gaia Mission (2020)

unapi

The first determination of the surface temperature of stars other than the Sun is due to the Hungarian astrophysicist Béla Harkányi. Prompted by the recent unprecedented increase in the availability of stellar temperature estimates from Gaia, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of Harkányi’s birth, this article presents the life and work of this neglected, yet remarkable figure in the context of the history of stellar astrophysics.
