Abstract

Bengt Strömgren's (1908-1987) early career is examined down to 1932, the year of his first landmark article on astrophysics, in which, continuing the numerical tradition at the Copenhagen Observatory, Strömgren applied the still novel quantum mechanics with great faith in its validity. In addition, the paper investigates the inspiration he drew from the stimulating teachers and the environment at the Niels Bohr Institute.
