Frank John Kerr (8 January 1918 – 15 September 2000) was an Australian astronomer and physicist who made contributions to human understanding of the galactic structure of the Milky Way. Born in St Albans to Australian parents, Kerr returned with his family to Australia after the completion of World War I. He received degrees in physics at the University of Melbourne and an MA in astronomy from Harvard University (1951). Over the years he worked with various astronomers, including Colin Gum and Gart Westerhout. He died of cancer at Silver Spring, Maryland.

Kerr studierte Physik an der University of Melbourne und erhielt seinen MA in Astronomie von der Harvard University im Jahre 1951.b In Australien 1951 benutzte Kerr ein speziell gebautes 36-Fuß-Teleskop und kartierte die Magellanschen Wolken. Dabei entdeckt er neutralen Wasserstoff und einen Halo um beide Wolken. Von 1954 bis 1955 war Kerr ein Mitglied einer Gruppe die die Rotation der Magellanschen Wolken und ihre Massen bestimmten. Über die Jahre hinweg arbeitete er mit mehreren bekannten Astronomen zusammen, unter ihnen Colin Stanley Gum und Gart Westerhout. Von 1966 bis 1968 hatte er zuerst eine Gastprofessur, anschließend bis zu seiner Emeritierung 1987 eine Professur an der University of Maryland, College Park inne. (de)
- Frank John Kerr (8 January 1918 – 15 September 2000) was an Australian astronomer and physicist who made contributions to human understanding of the galactic structure of the Milky Way. Born in St Albans to Australian parents, Kerr returned with his family to Australia after the completion of World War I. He received degrees in physics at the University of Melbourne and an MA in astronomy from Harvard University (1951). In 1940, Frank had joined the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) radiophysics laboratory in Sydney, Australia under the mentorship of Joseph Lade Pawsey. He pioneered the use of the magnetron, and also studied superrefraction. In Australia in late 1951, Kerr used a specially built 36-foot transit telescope, the largest dish of its kind in Australia, and started mapping the Magellanic Clouds, discovering considerable amounts of neutral hydrogen and an extended envelope around both clouds. From 1954 to 1955, Kerr was a member of the team that determined the rotation of the Magellanic Clouds and their masses. Kerr coined the term "galactic warp" to refer to the distorting effect of the Magellanic Clouds' gravity on the shape of our own galaxy. Over the years he worked with various astronomers, including Colin Gum and Gart Westerhout. From 1966 to 1979, he was a visiting, then full, professor of astronomy at the University of Maryland, College Park. Kerr was the Director of the Astronomy Program during the mid-1970s. From 1978 to 1985, Kerr then acted as the Provost of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences and Engineering Division at the University of Maryland. He died of cancer at Silver Spring, Maryland. (en)
