Anthony (Tony) F. J. Moffat is an emeritus professor of astronomy at the Université de Montréal in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Dr. Moffat was appointed as a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2001. Dr. Moffat’s interests focus on massive stars (Wolf-Rayet stars in particular), stellar winds, binary stars, as well as the structure and dynamics of galaxies.

[edit] Professional history
Prof. Moffat completed his Master of Science at the University of Toronto in 1966. His doctorate was granted in 1970 from Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum (Dr. rer. nat.). Following postdoctoral studies at Ruhr-Univ. Bochum from 1970 to 1976, and the awarding of his second Dr. Habil. in 1976, Moffat was hired to the faculty of Université de Montréal in 1976.
[edit] Professional progeny
Prof. Moffat has supervised 8 postdoctoral scientists and 14 doctoral students at Université de Montréal.
[edit] Massive star clusters
In a series of papers beginning with a study of the open star cluster NGC 7380 [1] and eleven other clusters,[2] Moffat used photographic UBV photometry [3] to identify the massive star population.
