Tárgy: Re: BRIAN G. MARSDEN (1937-2010)
Sziasztok!

Bővebb részletek az E. O. Waagentől az AAVSO listáról:

From: Elizabeth Waagen ,

Dan Green, Director of the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams,
just called me (and issued the CBET below) to pass along the extremely
sad news that Brian Marsden died this morning (November 18, 2010). He
had been fighting leukemia and contracted pneumonia.

Brian was a strong believer in the potential and power of amateur
astronomers, and a real supporter of their serious efforts and
contributions. From the 1960s on, he was a very good friend of the AAVSO
and a close colleague, often asking for assistance to confirm or refute
a discovery report before issuing an announcement, request follow-up
observation information, or check on the behavior of a star in assessing
a report made to the CBAT.

Brian´s breadth and depth of knowledge, professionalism, profound
concern for the quality of science and information, charm and wit, and
great kindness will be sorely missed. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to his
wife, Nancy, his family, his assistant and colleague of over 30 years,
Dan Green, and all those who worked with him or learned from him.

Senior Technical Assistant, AAVSO
