Charles Wolf (astronomer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article refers to the French astronomer. For the American astronomer, see Charles Wolff.
Charles Joseph Étienne Wolf (November 9, 1827 – July 4, 1918) was a French astronomer.
In 1862, Urbain Le Verrier offered him a post as assistant at the Paris Observatory.
In 1867 he and Georges Rayet discovered Wolf-Rayet stars. Note however that the nearby red dwarf Wolf 359 was discovered by German astronomer Max Wolf and not by him.
