Dirk Brouwer
1902‐66
American astronomer. Born in the Netherlands. He studied under De Sittel at Leiden University, receiving his doctorate in 1927, and then went to the United States on a one-year scholarship. In 1928, he visited Yale University, where he became a lecturer at the recommendation of the observatory's director, F. Schlesinger, and in 1941 he succeeded Schlesinger as a professor. Brauer's achievements cover a wide range of fields in celestial mechanics, including the motion of the outer planets, the motion of nearby moons, asteroid families and gaps, the rotation of the Earth, the motion of artificial satellites, the application of large computers to celestial mechanics, and the system of astronomical constants.
