Charles Joseph Étienne Wolf (November 9 1827 – July 4 1918) was a French astronomer
In 1862, Urbain Le Verrier offered him a post as assistant at the Paris Observatory.
In 1867 he and Georges Rayet discovered Wolf-Rayet stars. Note however that the nearby red dwarf Wolf 359 was discovered by German astronomer Max Wolf and not by him.
