He obtained a PhD from the University of Lund aged 32 and was subsequently appointed as a lecturer in astronomy.

He combined practical astronomy with an interest in theory, developing especially an interest in the three-body problem This work was to influence Poincaré whose work on the three-body problem led to the discovery that there can be orbits which are nonperiodic, and yet not forever increasing nor approaching a fixed point, the beginning of what we now know as 'chaos theory'.
