Photoelectric Photometry: History Of Astronomy

Scientific paper

Three aspects of the historical development of photoelectric photometry in astronomy are discussed. The first is the era of the diode photocell in astronomical photometry, which represents the forerunner of the application of the photomultiplier, and was the first serious attempt to use electronics at the telescope. Secondly, the early days of the photomultiplier are discussed, which, after World War II, brought about an instant revolution in the practice of photoelectric photometry. And finally, the arrival of photomultiplier photometry in the southern hemisphere from about 1950 will be discussed.
