About Guillermo Haro

Guillermo Haro Barraza was a Mexican astronomer. Through his own astronomical research and the formation of new institutions, Haro was influential in the development of modern observational astronomy in Mexico. Internationally, he is best known for his contribution to the discovery of Herbig–Haro objects. Haro and co-workers discovered flare stars in the Orion nebula region, and later on in stellar aggregates of different ages. As a result of his dedication and enthusiasm for astronomy, he was hired by Erro in 1943 as an assistant at the newly founded Observatorio Astrofísico de Tonantzintla. At least 50 of these objects turned out to be quasars (which had not yet been discovered in 1961).
