Victor Franz Hess Observatory

Rays from outer space

Since the 1930s, the research station has housed instruments used by its founder Victor Franz Hess, who won the Nobel Prize in 1936, to study cosmic rays.

The facility also helped other scientists make groundbreaking discoveries. On photographic plates exposed at the observatory, Marietta Blau and Hertha Wambacher became the first to observe nuclear disintegration caused by cosmic rays in 1937.

In the 1960s and 1970s, a neutron monitor and muon detectors were installed. This enabled the researchers to individually measure two types of particles in cosmic rays and make some important discoveries. Rudolf Steinmaurer, a colleague of Victor Franz Hess, played a leading role.

In 2009, Olaf Reimer’s research group, based at the Institute of Astrophysics, began studying high-energy gamma rays. They are produced in interaction with particles of cosmic rays and come from the same – in part still unknown – sources in outer space. The data are no longer from here, however, but from the Fermi Space Telescope or the H.E.S.S. telescopes i

Victor Francis Hess

Austrian-American physicist (1883–1964)

Victor Franz Hess (German:[ˈvɪktɔʁˈfʁantsˈhɛs]; 24 June 1883 – 17 December 1964) was an Austrian-American physicist who shared the 1936 Nobel Prize in Physics with Carl David Anderson "for his discovery of cosmic radiation".^[1]

Biography

He was born to Vinzenz Hess and Serafine Edle von Grossbauer-Waldstätt, in Waldstein Castle, near Peggau in Styria, Austria, on 24 June 1883. His father was a royal forester in Prince Louis of Oettingen-Wallerstein's service. He attended secondary school at Graz Gymnasium from 1893 to 1901.^[2]^[3]

From 1901 to 1905, Hess was an undergraduate student at the University of Graz. In 1910, Hess received his PhD from the University of Vienna.^[4] He worked as Assistant under Stefan Meyer at the Institute for Radium Research, Austrian Academy of Sciences, from 1910 to 1920.

In 1920, he married Marie Bertha Warner Breisky.^[1]

Hess took a leave of absence in 1921 and traveled to the United States, working at the United Sta
