First edition of Ångström's importent paper on the transformation of heat through materials. Angstrom determined the conductivity of the material of a bar by periodically heating and cooling it. The bar was heated and cooled periodically by passing steam and water at regular intervals through a chamber at one end of the bar ... In this way, the temperature at points along the bar fluctuate periodically and on account of surface radiation the temperature amplitude diminishes as the distance from the region of supply increases.In 1868, Ångström created a spectrum chart of solar radiation that expresses the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum in multiples of one ten-millionth of a millimetre, or 1×10-10 metres. This unit of length later became known as the ångström, Å.

First appearance in German of Ångström's famous paper in which he announced the discovery of hydrogen in the atmosphere of the sun and in which he also confirmed the probable existence of of other elements there. The paper appeared in ""Oefversigt af K. Vet. Acad. Förhandl."" in 1861. The German paper here is expanded. At the same time it was translated into English and publishe as ""On the Fraunhofer Lines Visible in the Solar Spectrum"".Ångström was one of the early formulators of the science of modern spectroscopy" he wrote extensively on terrestrial magnetism, the conduction of heat, and especially spectroscopy. He published a monumental map of the normal solar spectrum that expressed the length of light waves in units of one ten-millionth of a millimeter, a unit of length now known as the angstrom. He discovered that hydrogen is present in the sun's atmosphere, and he was the first to examine the spectrum of the aurora borealis.

First edition. In this paper Ångström deduces the mean period of Halley's Comet by a statistical approach. From his analysis he discovered that the average time between perihelions was 76.93 years and found that thsi period varied in a cyclical manner.Ångström was one of the early formulators of the science of modern spectroscopy" he wrote extensively on terrestrial magnetism, the conduction of heat, and especially spectroscopy.

First printing.""A work on the spectra of the metalliods, which was begun some years previously, was completed by Tobias Robert Thalén, who actively assisted Ångström for many years, and was published in 1875. In opposition to the view that a given chemical element had a multiplicity of spectra, depending upon conditions, Ångström remained a strong defender of the opinion that each chemical element had a single characteristic spectrum that remained essentially unchanged.""
