The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Arthur Schuster, on a paper 'Radiative equilibrium: the relation between the spectral energy curve of a star and the law of darkening of the disc towards the limb, special reference to the effects of scattering and the solar spectrum' by Edward Arthur Milne

Reference number: RR/28/45

Date: 1922

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Finds some of the mathematical calculations difficult to follow and with poor notation. Suggests the paper be published as it stands, unless cost prevents this. Refers to work by Ralph Allen Sampson and Arthur Schuster.
