Beyond the planets: Early nineteenth-century studies of double stars
In 1837 the German-born astronomer F. G. W. Struve published his famous catalogue of double stars. For Struve this was the culmination of 12 years' detailed observation of a class of celestial objects lying exclusively beyond the solar system; for historians of astronomy it poses the problem of explaining why the study of double stars became a significant part of astronomical endeavour, as it did, during the 1820s and 1830s. For, although Struve'…
Was There Such a Thing as Stellar Astronomy in the Eighteenth Century
James Bradley and the eighteenth Century 'Gap' in attempts to measure annual stellar parallax
When, in 1728, James Bradley wrote to Edmund Halley of his ‘new discovered motion of the fixed stars’ (1) Bradley pointed out an important implication of his work for the problem of the detection of the annual parallax of the stars. In conclusion he wrote thus (2): I believe I may venture to say, that in either of the two stars last mentioned [the annual parallax] does not amount to 2". I am of opinion, that if it were 1". I should have perceived…
