Memorable Events During a Research Career (2019)

unapi

In this paper, I sketch a path through my research career in solar and heliospheric physics, recalling some memorable events and discoveries that occurred along the way. This chain of events begins with an influential Time magazine article in 1955 and progresses through a summer at Bell Labs, 9 years at Caltech, 7 years at the Kitt Peak National Observatory, 43 years at the Naval Research Laboratory, and ends with a digitized map of the Sun's Ca II K-Line emission in 1919 when the AGU was born. Accidents and puzzling results are often the keys to progress and should be examined carefully.
