Philipp Franz Heinrich Carl (19 June 1837 – 24 January 1891) was a German physicist.

He was born at Neustadt, Middle Franconia. He studied the exact sciences at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München as a doctorate student of Philipp von Jolly and Johann von Lamont (graduation 1860).[1] He then worked as an assistant to Lamont, performing astronomical and geophysical research at the observatory (Universitäts-Sternwarte München). In 1865, he established, and for several years thereafter directed, a workshop for the manufacture of mathematical instruments. In 1869, he was named professor of physics at the Royal Bavarian Military Training Institutes.[2][3]

Publications

[edit]

He established also the Repertoriums der Experimentalphysik, der physikalischen Technik und der astronomischen Instrumentenkunde in 1865, which he edited until 1882.[3] His published works include:

  • Die Principien der astronomischen Instrumentenkunde (1863).
  • Repertorium der Kometenastronomie (1864).[2]
