Arlo U. Landolt (born 1935) is an American astronomer. Landolt has worked principally in photometry and has published a number of widely used lists [ [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1983AJ.....88..439L "UBVRI" photometric standard stars around the celestial equator] , Arlo U.

[ [http://www.aas.org/grants/awards.php AAS — Grants, Prizes and Awards] , web page, accessed on line September 19, 2007.] Landolt was the first discoverer of a pulsating white dwarf when he observed in 1965 and 1966 that the luminosity of HL Tau 76 varied with a period of approximately 12.5 minutes.
