Research File, 1943-2008
Rubin's research files on galaxies and rotation curves include substantial files on Abell clusters, Hickson Compact Groups, Low surface brightness galaxies, M31 (the Andromeda galaxy), and Virgo cluster galaxies. Also in this series are Rubin's observing logs and correspondence and requests for observing time at various observatories and the Hubble Space Telescope. Most folders maintain Rubin's original file label and many of her original annotated folders have been retained. Additional research material can be found in the Notebooks and Binders series and in the Writings and Lectures series. Data, charts, graphs, astronomical photographs, spectra, observing logs and schedules, correspondence with observatories and notes to co-observers.
