Historical Supernovae and their Remnants
This book reviews both the historical observations of supernovae (SNe) seen in our Galaxy over the last two millennia — and recorded in East Asia (China, Japan, Korea) as ‘guest stars’, Europe and the Arab dominions — together with modern observations of the remnants of these supernovae. Introductory chapters provide background information on the historical observations and our modern understanding of supernovae and novae, and of supernova remnan…
Historical Supernovae and Their Remnants (International Series on Astronomy and Astrophysics, 5)
This work reviews both the historical observations of supernovae seen in our galaxy over the last two millennia and recorded in East Asia (China, Japan and Korea), Europe and the Arabic dominions, together with modern observations of the remnants of these supernovae.

Records of lunar eclipses in medieval Arabic chronicles
In a previous paper, we discussed a series of solar eclipse observations recorded in medieval Arabic chronicles both for their astronomical and chronological value. In the present paper we investigate lunar eclipses reported in these same sources as well as in many further chronicles. It should be stressed that our interest here is limited to eclipse records from chronicles; we have not included any material from technical treatises composed by a…
Astronomical Records in the CH'UN-CH'IU Chronicle
La chronique chinoise ancienne connue sous le nom Ch'un-Ch'in (Annale du printemps et de l'automne) couvre la periode allant de 722 a 481 avant notre ere et signale plusieurs observations de phenomenes astronomiques notamment des eclipses solaires et des cometes
Records of solar eclipses in Arabic chronicles
Of the many astronomical observations which are recorded in ancient and medieval history, perhaps the most interesting and useful relate to solar eclipses. Obscurations of the Sun are often noticed by the casual observer and may indeed leave a profound impression on him if the degree of obscuration of the Sun is very large. In particular, total solar eclipses are responsible for the onset of sudden and intense darkness, during which the brighter …
