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 in Munich as a pupil of Philipp von Jolly and Johann von Lamont (graduation 1860). 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.[1][2]
Publications
He established also the Repertoriums der Experimentalphysik, der physikalischen Technik und der astronomischen Instrumentenkunde in 1865, which he edited until 1882.[2] His published works include:
- Die Principien der astronomischen Instrumentenkunde (1863).
- Repertorium der Kometenastronomie (1864).[1]
