The main belt asteroid 1613 Smiley is named after him. He was considered “one of the world’s leading authorities on eclipses.”Born in Camden, Missouri, he attended UCLA and UC Berkeley, where he earned a mathematics degree. He received an MA in mathematics from Berkeley (1925) and a PhD from the same university (1927). He taught mathematics at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign (1927-9) and worked at the Royal Greenwich Observatory as a Guggenheim Fellow (1929–30). He worked as a professor of mathematics at Brown University from 1930 onwards. He directed the Ladd Observatory and served as chairman of the Department of Astronomy.Smiley led expeditions to South America, Canada, Asia, and the US to study solar eclipses, and conducted several expeditions between 1947 and 1952 to study “atmospheric refraction at low angular altitudes.” He also studied the Mayan calendar, and “was able to date the Mayan Codices of Dresden, Paris, and Madrid from astronomical dates which they contained.”When 1570 Brunonia was discovered on October 9, 1948 by Sylvain Julien Victor Arend at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in Uccle, Belgium, Arend wrote to Smiley:".
