http://dbpedia.org/ontology/abstract Ο Ιωάννης Ε. Φωκάς (20 Ιουλίου 1909 – 3 Ιανουαρίου 1969) ήταν Έλληνας παρατηρησιακός αστρονόμος, γνωστός στη Γαλλία ως Jean-Henri Focas. , Jean-Henri Focas (grec moderne : Ιωάννης Ε. Φωκάς, né à Corfou le 20 juillet 1909, mort en Grèce le 3 janvier 1969) est un astronome franco-grec, connu en Grèce sous le nom de Ioannis Focas. , Jean-Henri Focas, conocido también como Ionnas Focas (20 de julio de 1909 - 3 de enero de 1969) fue un astrónomo grecofrancés,​ especializado en astronomía planetaria. , Jean-Henri Focas (20 July 1909 – 3 JanuaryJean-Henri Focas (20 July 1909 – 3 January 1969) was a Greek-French astronomer. He was also known by his Greek name Ioannis Focas (Ιωάννης Φωκάς). He worked at the Pic du Midi Observatory, investigating the surface features of Mars using visual and photographic techniques. A crater on the moon and a crater on Mars were named after him. Focas was born in Corfu on 20 July 1909 and he was interested in astronomy since adolescence. Being very skilful in painting, the young Fokas designed wonderful sketches of the planets and the Moon. Appreciating the work, astronomer Stavros Plakidis proposed to the then director of the National Observatory of Athens Prof D. to hire Focas at the Observatory in 1931. There, under the guidance of Eginitis and later Prof. Plakidis he acquired basic knowledge and experience in scientific observations, and made thousands of observations of sunspots, variable stars and comets. He also realized the value of long-term continuous observations of a target. Although he did not have a formal university education, the zeal, the willingness and proficiency in five European languages helped to fill the gaps in his education and established himself in the field of planetary astronomy. When Focas learned that the Observatory of the Peak du Midi had installed a special 60 cm telescope for observing planets, he managed to obtain permission to observe this opposition of Mars in 1954. These observations established him internationally as a planetary astronomer. Returning to Athens, he brought with him new methods and techniques learned in France, photography, photometry, polarimetry and micrometric observations planets. He established a collaborative project between the National Observatory of Athens and Paris-Meudon Observatories, under which Focas visited France every year for observations. He dedicated more than 300 nights to measure the polarization of light in different areas of the Martian surface. Indeed, the last work of his life, published posthumously, was a comprehensive memorandum on the Martian polarimetry. In 1961, he was awarded a PhD from the University of Paris for a thesis entitled "Étude photométrique et polarimétrique des phénomènes saisonniers de la planete Mars". (No advisor is mentioned in his thesis. However the committee consisted of: Andre Luis Danjon, Président - Maurice Françon and Évry Schatzman, Examinateurs). In 1960 Focas, using the Newall refractor at Penteli, observed a large white spot on Saturn's atmosphere and studied its evolution. In 1964 he visited the Lowell Observatory in Arizona to assess the huge collection of photographic plates assembled by Earl C. Slipher since 1907. As to the planet Jupiter, Fokas devised a novel factor for the expression of atmospheric activity. At the end of the same year, he resigned from his position at the Athens Observatory to work at the IAU planetary observations collection center at the Observatory of Paris-Meudon. In his new position, having at its disposal more than 14,000 photos, he continues publishing and pursuing his own observations from Pic du Midi and Meudon. In Meudon, the completion by John Fokas cartographic work of planet Mars, commenced by Eugene Antoniadis, with the additional use of photographic and photometric techniques, influenced IAU in adopting the nomenclature system of Antoniades for the planet, making the official names of all almost all major areas of being Greek. Focas died on 3 January 1969, at the age of 60 from a heart attack while in Greece, where he was visiting for the holidays. Named after him was the crater Fokas (Focas) in the southern hemisphere of the Moon, with a diameter of 22 km, as well as the crater Fokas (Focas) in the northern hemisphere of Mars with a diameter of 76.5 km.sphere of Mars with a diameter of 76.5 km. , 让-亨利·福卡(1909年7月20日-1969年1月3日)是一名希腊裔法国天文学家,在希腊他也被称作伊奥尼斯·福卡(希臘語:Ιωάννης Φωκάς)。他曾在日中峰(Pic du Midi)天文台使用视觉和摄影技术研究火星表面特征。月球和火星上各有一座撞击坑就是以他的名字命名的。
