In Memoriam: Dr. Walter Steiger Dr. Walter Steiger was a Professor Emeritus of
Physics and Astronomy at the University of Hawai'i
at Manoa. During his 30-year career at Manoa, he
began an astronomy program and developed a solar
observatory at Makapu'u Point on O'ahu, which later
was supplanted by one on Haleakala, Maui. On
Haleakala, he conducted studies of the airglow and

1980, he entered a new form of teaching from the
Bishop Museum Planetarium. During this period he
also served for four years on the UH Board of
Regents. In 1987, looking for another new
challenge, he was offered the opportunity to work
on Maunakea as Site Manager for the Caltech
Submillimeter Observatory. After retirement from
CSO, he was back to his first love, teaching physics,
this time at UH Hilo, as Adjunct Professor.
Dr. Walter Steiger
Dr. Steiger also served as Interim Director of Maunakea Astronomy Education Center,
what would later become known as 'Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawai'i, from 20032004, where he helped develop the philosophy and structure of the exhibits and the
planetarium. Until his passing on Sunday, February 6, 2011, Dr. Steiger continued to
talk and write about the origins of astronomy in Hawai'i.

Science Synergies: A Tale of Two Telescopes
The observatories on Mauna Kea come in many sizes
and have many different astronomical purposes.
Increasingly, observations made with the smaller
telescopes are being used to identify objects of
extreme astrophysical interest which must be studied
in detail with the larger observatories. Having just
moved from one telescope (UKIRT) to another
(Gemini), Dr. Adamson has seen both ends of one of
the most productive such partnerships. In this talk,
he will show some of the best examples of the
scientific productivity which happens when two
