Mimeo Class Text, With Class Notes And Tests By A Student Who Later Became A Prominent Jpl Astronomer. Handwritten Comments And Grades By Leighton. Robert Benjamin Leighton (September 10, 1919 - March 9, 1997) Was A Pro…minent American Experimental Physicist Who Spent His Professional Career At The California Institute Of Technology (Caltech). His Work Over 58 Years Spanned Solid State Physics, Cosmic Ray Physics, The Beginnings Of Modern Particle Physics, Solar Physics, The Planets, Infrared Astronomy, And Millimeter- And Submillimeter-Wave Astronomy. In The Latter Four Fields, His Pioneering Work Opened Up Entirely New Areas Of Research That Subsequently Developed Into Vigorous Scientific Communities. His Bachelor's, Master's And Ph.D. Degrees Were All From Caltech; He Joined The Faculty In 1949 And Later Served As Division Chair Of Physics, Mathematics And Astronomy From 1970 To 1975. Leighton Was A Renowned Teacher At Caltech. His Principles Of Modern Physics, Published In 1959, Was A Standard And Influential Textbook. After Richard Feynman's Lectures In Physics Course, In The Early 1960S, Leighton Spent Over Two Years Reworking The Tape-Recorded Text Into Publishable Form: The Feynman Lectures On Physics, Which Were Published In 1964 And 1966, And Which Have Enjoyed Perennial Success Ever Since. In Addition, He Co-Authored, With Robbie Vogt, A Set Of Problems To Accompany The Feynman Lectures. In The Early 1960S, Leighton Developed And Fabricated A Novel, Inexpensive Infrared Telescope, Which Included A Simple Array Of Eight Lead-Sulfide Photocells. These Cells Were Surplus From The Defense Industry; They Had Been Developed For The Sidewinder Missile'S Heat-Seeking Guidance System. Starting In 1965, He And Gerry Neugebauer Used The New Telescope To Sweep The Roughly 70 Percent Of The Sky Visible From Mt. Wilson Observatory, Collecting The Data As Squiggles On A Strip-Chart Recorder. This Began A New Area Of Infrared Astronomy. The Resulting Two-Micron Sky Survey, Published In 1969, Contained 5,612 Infrared Sources, The Vast Majority Of Which Had Been Previously Uncataloged. Some Of These Have Been Found To Be New Stars Still Surrounded By Their Dusty Pre-Stellar Shells, While Others Are Supergiant Stars In The Last Stages Of Their Evolution, Embedded In Expanding Dusty Shells Of Matter Ejected By The Stars Themselves. Leighton's Development Of Photographic Equipment During The Mid-1950S Had Allowed Him To Obtain The Best Pictures Of The Planets Ever Attained Anywhere To That Time, From The 60 And 100-Inch Telescopes, And Led To His Work As Team Leader At The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Jpl) For The Imaging Science Investigations On The Mariner 4, 6, And 7 Missions To Mars During The Middle 1960S. As Team Leader And An Experienced Experimental Physicist, Leighton Played A Key Role In Forming And Guiding The Development Of Jpl's First Digital Television System For Use In Deep Space. He Also Contributed To The First Efforts At Image Processing And Enhancement Techniques Made Possible By The Digital Form Of The Imaging Data. He Received The Space Science Award From The American Institute Of Aeronautics And Astronautics For The Mariner Television Experiments In 1967 And The Nasa Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal In 1971. In The 1970S, Leighton's Interest Shifted To The Development Of Large, Inexpensive Dish Antenna Which Could Be Used To Pursue Millimeter-Wave Interferometry And Submillimeter-Wave Astronomy. Leighton Shared The Rumsford Prize In 1986 For Advancements In Infrared Astronomy, And Won The James Craig Watson Medal In 1988, For His Work As Creator And Exploiter Of New Instruments And Techniques That Opened Whole New Areas Of Astronomy — Solar Oscillations, Infrared Surveys, Spun Telescopes, And Large Millimeter-Wave Reflectors.Leighton And Feynman Were Close Personal Friends. One Of Leighton's Sons, Ralph, Also Collaborated With Feynman On Several Books.

This lot of 46 mimeographed bulletins was deaccessioned from the Harvard College Library (originally received from the Survey); also included are photocopies of the missing 13 mimeographed bulletins (specified above), in order to make this lot a complete run of bulletins 1-59 (September 24, 1…919 - December 12, 1922). Laid in at top of the bulletins is a mimeographed 1 April 1922 letter from Pennsylvania state geologist George H. Ashley, addressed "Dear Sir" (presumably sent to university librarians, with this one being sent to a Harvard librarian), listing the bulletins that he was mailing to them. Many of the mimeographed bulletins have wear, short margin tears and/or chips and some soil; the bulletins range in length from 3 p. to 26 p.; most are about 11 p. each. Mailing this heavy lot outside the United States will cost much more than is specified in the shipping matrix. [otob: 43r].
