Ludwig Struve

Gustav Wilhelm Ludwig Struve (November 1 1858 – November 4 1920 [ [http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/~pbrosche/persons/obit/obit_si.html Obituary Notes of Astronomers] at www.astro.uni-bonn.de] ) was a Russian astronomer, part of the famous Baltic German Struve family of astronomers. In Russian, his name is sometimes given as Lyudvig Ottovich Struve (Людвиг Оттович Струве) or Lyudvig Ottonovich Struve (Людвиг Оттонович Струве).

He was much less well-known than his famous grandfather Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve or his father Otto Wilhelm von Struve or his son Otto Struve. His brother was Hermann Struve.

Although he began working at Pulkovo Observatory with his father and brother, he went to the University of Kharkov and became director of the observatory there. His son Otto Struve was born in Kharkov.

His son Otto Struve served as a White Russian officer in the losing side of the civil war that followed the Russian Revolution, and father and son were retreating with the White Russian forces on their way to exile. However, Ludwig Struve died on the way, in Sevastopol, in the company of his son.
