Determination of the Parallaxes of Fifty Stars

"Determination of the Parallaxes of Fifty Stars" presents the results of astronomical observations and calculations to determine the distances of fifty stars using the parallax method. This meticulous work, originally published in 1910, contributes valuable data to the field of astrometry and provides insights into the scale and structure of the universe as it was understood at the time. The study involves precise measurements and mathematical analysis, showcasing the scientific rigor of early 20th-century astronomical research.

This book is a key resource for historians of science, astronomers, and anyone interested in the development of our understanding of stellar distances. The careful methodology and detailed results offer a glimpse into the challenges and achievements of early parallax determination, which remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics.
