General contextFowler devoted himself to study of the sun's atmosphere during total eclipses. He joined the British government expeditions of 1893, 1896, 1898, 1900, 1905, and 1914 to various parts of the world for this purpose.
Played an active part in the administrative work of science both nationally and internationally. He was largely responsible for the organisation of the International Astronomical Union (founded in 1919), of which he was the first secretary.
In 1896, Edward Charles Pickering observed unknown lines in the star Zeta Puppis' spectra, attributing them to hydrogen. Fowler experimentally reproduced these lines in 1912, supporting Pickering's interpretation. The Pickering–Fowler series, crucial for understanding atomic nature, emerged. Niels Bohr's theoretical analysis in his atomic structure trilogy refuted the hydrogen attribution, proposing ionized helium, He+. Initially skeptical, Fowler later accepted Bohr's conclusion, leading to the series definitively shifting from hydrogen to helium by 1915. Bohr's work prompted a re-examination of classical theories, confirming his atomic theory.
