Upon Oort's death, the collection was augmented by more  personal papers, letters, journals, and diaries. \u003cbr\u003e  The resulting collection forms a rich source of information on many  aspects of twentieth-century astronomy, in which Oort played such an  important role. The scientific and personal material covers the entire  span of time from Oort's early youth until his death. \u003cbr\u003e  To make these papers accessible to a wide circle of users, the  collection has now been catalogued and described; the result is  presented in this volume. A name index and a subject index have been  added to facilitate access. The inventory is accompanied by a short  biographical sketch, and a number of photographs, mostly relating to  Oort's career as a scientist. \u003cbr\u003e  The original papers themselves are archived in the Leiden University  Library.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401064323\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5764-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 198\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47661321650316,"sku":"9789401064323","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401064323.jpg?v=1776428324","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401064323","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
