- catalog description "Ellen Dorrit Hoffleit was born on March 12, 1907, on her parents' farm in Florence, Alabama. Hoffleit received her B.A. in mathematics from Radcliffe College in 1928 and took graduate classes at Radcliffe while working at the Harvard College Observatory, receiving her M.A. and Ph.D. in astronomy in 1932 and 1938, respectively. In 1943, she joined the Ballistic Research Laboratory at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, returning to full-time work at Harvard in 1948. She remained at Harvard until 1956, when she was named director of the Maria Mitchell Observatory in Nantucket, Mass. This was a half-year appointment which continued until 1978. For the remaining six months of each year she worked as a research associate in astronomy at Yale University, running the star cataloging program. In 1964, she edited the Catalogue of Bright Stars, which listed stars visible to the naked eye; she also edited a 1983 supplement. Hoffleit officially retired from Yale in 1975, but even after retirement, she remained active in the field of astronomy, writing papers, frequently on women astronomers, and presenting at conferences. She was considered an expert on variable stars, the history of astronomy, and astrometry. In 1987, the International Astronomical Union named an asteroid after her, in acknowledgment of her contributions to the field of astronomy.".
