Wehlau was born in San Francisco in 1926. He received his education at the University of California at Berkeley, obtaining his PhD in 1953. Following two years at the Warner-Swasey Observatory in Cleveland, Ohio, he went to the University of Western Ontario as a National Research Council (NRC) Postdoctoral Fellow. In 1957 he became an assistant professor of mathematics and astronomy, and a full professor in 1961. In 1966 he started the UWO's Department of Astronomy and remained its head until his retirement in 1991. Wehlau specialized in the study of solar astrophysics using innovative methods such as light variability, spectrographic analysis and Doppler imaging. He was a recognized world expert on rapidly oscillating Ap stars.
Wehlau was a member of the National Advisory Committee on Astronomy, the NRC Associate Committee on Astronomy from 1967 to 1982 and its chairman from 1979 to 1982. He also completed a major review of Canadian astronomy for the Science Secretariat of the Privy Council in 1968. Wehlau was involved with major Canadian optical telescope projects including the proposed Queen Elizabeth II telescope in B.C., and the Canada-France-Hawaii and Gemini Twin telescopes. Wehlau died suddenly on 23 February 1995.Information additionnelle :Note générale :Acquired in 1996 from Prof. Amelia Wehlau of London, Ont.Vedette-matière :- Astronomy - Canada University of Western Ontario.
