Was an American astronomer whose cataloging work was instrumental in the development of contemporary stellar classification. With Edward C.

Pickering made the Henry Draper Catalog a long term project to obtain the optical spectra of as many stars as possible, also to index and classify stars by spectra. Measurements were hard enough, the development of a reasonable classification was as much as a problem in theory as fact accumulation.
