He worked at the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, first in Berlin and then in Heidelberg. While a student he was encouraged by the Dutch astronomer Peter van de Kamp to study nearby stars which he did for the rest of his life. His astronomical research was interrupted when he was conscripted into the Wehrmacht in 1942 and sent to the Eastern Front. In 1945 he was taken prisoner by the Soviets and was not released until 1949. He finally resumed his research at the Institute which had been moved by the U.S. Army to Heidelberg after World War II. Although he nominally retired in 1980, he continued his research at the Institute until his death in 1993.[1] Catalogs of nearby stars He is best known for his Catalogue of Nearby Stars, originally published in 1957[2] and again in 1969.[3] Some stars are best known by the catalog number he gave them, such as Gliese 581 and Gliese 710. The Gliese catalog stars are frequent targets of study due to their proximity to Earth. Gliese published two supplements to this catalog in 1979[4] and 1991[5] in collaboration with Hartmut Jahreiß. Jahreiß wrote Gliese's obituary upon his death in 1993.[1] References ^ a b Hartmut Jahreiß. "Nachrufe : Wilhelm Gliese" (in German). Mitteilungen der Astronomischen Gesellschaft 77: 5–7.
