Johannes Franz Hartmann (January 11, 1865 – September 13, 1936) was a German physicist and astronomer. In 1904, while studying the spectroscopy of Delta Orionis he noticed that most of the spectrum had a shift, except the calcium lines, which he interpreted as indicating the presence of interstellar medium[1][2]
He was the director of the Observatorio Astronómico de La Plata from November 1922 to May 1934. He oriented the work of the observatory towards astrophysics. He discovered three asteroids.
