Alexander Stewart Herschel, DCL, FRS (5 February 1836 – 18 June 1907) was a British astronomer. Although much less well known than his grandfather William Herschel or his father John Herschel, he did pioneering work in meteor spectroscopy. He also worked on identifying comets as the source of meteor showers.

Abstract. THE death of Prof. Alexander Stewart Herschel, F.R.S. on June 18 will be deplored by many astronomers. Prof. Herschel was born in 1836, and was the second son of Sir John...
13 de ago. de 2010 · Alexander Stewart Herschel (Science Museum) As well as his spectroscopic observations, Herchel helped to identify the radiant points of various meteor showers, and link the appearances of the showers to various comets.
Alexander Herschel developed early methodologies for studying meteor spectra visually, and he correctly interpreted the physical significance of the resulting data. He also discovered an important harmonic law of molecular spectroscopy. Herschel was the second son of 12 children born to John Herschel and Margaret ( née Stewart) Herschel.
It is named after astronomer Alexander Stewart Herschel, who was known for his work relating to meteors and comets. Alexander Herschel was also interested in Hamilton’s Icosian game and described solutions for the regular tetrahedron and icosahedron in place of the normal dodecahedron.
