ASTKCNOMY LIBRARY M4 Wo INTRODUCTION SECOND MELBOUENE GENEBAL CATALOGUE CONTAINING 1211 STARS FOR THE EPOCH 188O, DEDUCED FROM OBSERVATIONS MADE BETWEEN 1871'G AND 18847. THE present Catalogue of Stars, entitled the Second Melbourne General Catalogue, contains the results of observations made with the Old Transit Circle of five inches aperture from the beginning of the year 1871 to the end of August 1884. At first the catalogue was formed from the observations down to the end of 1880, but just before its completion the New Transit Circle, which has an aperture of eight inches and focal length of nine feet, was received from the makers, Messrs. Troughton and Simms ; and being soon brought into use observations with the former instrument were discontinued, and it was decided to enlarge the catalogue by the addition of the work done down to the time of the disuse of the Old Transit Circle. 537 iv SECOND MELBOURNE GENERAL CATALOGUE OF STARS. Volumes V., VI., and VII. of the Melbourne Observations contain the separate results of the observations from which this catalogue has been compiled ; and as they also contain a full description of the instruments, modes of observation, and methods of reduction, it is now only necessary to explain the processes used in forming the stars' places in the present work. The Right Ascensions and North Polar Distances were taken from the manuscript copies of the means of the separate results for each year, they were then reduced to 1880 by means of the given precessions to terms of the third order where appreciable. These individual results for 1880 were then combined with weights proportional to the number of observations in each year ; to these combined results the quantity of the adopted proper motion for the interval between 1880 and the mean year of the observations was applied; this in the case of the Nautical Almanac clock stars, where the proper motion was included in the pre- cession, was a correction for the difference between the N.A. and the finally adopted proper motions, and the right ascensions thus obtained are the ones given in the catalogue ; to the polar distances, however, a further correction was applied, as is explained below. The North Polar Distances, as given in the annual catalogues, depend on Bessel's refractions as published in the Appendix to the Greenwich Observations for 1855, and on an adopted colatitude of 52 10' 6 - "6. A discussion of the Green- wich and Melbourne Observations, however, by Mr. Stone, the present Radcliffe Observer, which appeared in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society for the i3th of December, 1867, showed that the colatitude required the correction + o"-i49, and that 'the refractions employed required diminishing; the factor being 0-99086 for observations north and 0*99628 for those south of the zenith. A comparison of the Pulkowa and Melbourne observations by Mr. Gylden, the present Director of the Stockholm Observatory, led to a somewhat similar conclusion ; and although a later investigation of more recent observations by Mr. Downing, published in the R.A.S. Monthly Notices of May, 1881, has considerably modified the above deductions ; yet for the sake of uniformity it has not been considered desirable to alter the table of corrections given in the INTRODUCTION. v introduction to the First Melbourne General Catalogue, which has been used and is reproduced here.

In the case of stars observed above and below the pole, the corrections have been combined with weights proportional to the number of observations in each position. The Mean Year of Observations has been computed from the mean years in the annual catalogues by combining them with weights proportional to the number of observations in each year. When available, the proper motions have been generally taken from the following authorities : AUWERS. Fundamental Catalog fur die Zoneu. Beobaelitungen .am Nordlichen Himmel. Leipzig, 1879.

Cape Catalogue of 12441 stars for the Epoch 1880. London, 1881. Very few proper motions are given in the last of these works, but its star places have been generally combined with the Melbourne ones in forming the modern places to be compared with the ancient ones for the determination of the proper motions. Most of the stars in Gould are so near the pole that the secular variations of the proper motions are appreciable ; they have therefore been com- puted and used to bring up the proper motions from 1870 to 1880. The secular variations of the proper motions were computed from the following formula? : M' = [7-9878] M cos a cot A [6-8117] m siu a cosec 2 A m' = [9-1639] M sin a + [9*0378] M 2 sin A cos A where M and m are the proper motions in right ascension and north polar distance respectively, M' and m' their secular variations, a the right ascension, and A the north polar distance. The brackets as usual indicate that the numbers therein are the logarithms of the factors. When the proper motions were not obtainable from the above sources it was necessary to compute them. Hitherto our knowledge of the proper motions of the southern stars has principally rested on the comparison of recent observations with the old ones of Lacaille, Brisbane, and Piazzi ; but it is now thought that in INTRODUCTION. Vll consequence of the imperfect instruments, uncertainty of epoch, or want of system in the reductions, that better results can be got by discarding the work of the old observers, except perhaps Lacaille's fundamental stars, and confining ourselves to the early work of the Cape Observatory between die years 1829 and 1852, which is now easily accessible, owing to the recent labours of Stone and Gill. In a few exceptional instances the old star places have been taken from the Cape Catalogue for 1860 and the early Melbourne observations. By the rejection of the ancient catalogues, the interval, seldom exceeding forty years, is rendered very short, but an improvement in the results is manifest by the disappearance of most of the anomalies that formerly existed. At the same time most of these proper motions must be considered as only provisional. Before definite results can be obtained, more extended observations will be necessary, as well as a method of reducing the various catalogues to a standard system. When a proper motion has been computed from Bradley's observations, Dr. Auwers's reduction, St. Petersburgh, 1882, has been used. In computing the total amount of the precession between 1880 and the epoch of the older catalogue, various methods have been adopted. For stars not far from the pole the trigonometrical formula has been always employed ; for stars within thirty degrees of the equator the mean annual precession has been taken as the half of the sum of the precessions for the two epochs. For other stars taken from the Cape Catalogue for 1840, the mean annual precession has been found by combining the precessions of 1840 and 1880 with that of the inter- mediate year, to which a weight of 4 has been given ; in every case, however, where a considerable proper motion has been found, the place of the star has been brought down trigonometrically, so that the proper motion may be strictly referred to the equinox of 1880. If now a and a' represent the right ascensions for 1880 as derived from the modern and ancient catalogues respectively, and y and y' the mean years of observation, then the annual proper motion in right ascension will be equal to |^y and in a similar way the proper motion in north polar distance may be found. Where proper motions have been used in forming the catalogue places viii SECOND MELBOURNE GENERAL CATALOGUE OF STARS. of the stars, the places have been corrected by applying the amount of proper motion for the interval between the epoch of the catalogue and the mean year of observation. EXPLANATION OF THE CATALOGUE. The first column contains the ordinal numbers of the stars arranged in the order of their right ascensions. The Magnitudes are expressed decimally. When they are from Melbourne observations the number of estimates of magnitude is given in the next column. The adopted magnitude is generally the mean of all the estimates. When the magnitudes have not been observed in Melbourne they are generally taken from Argelander, but the notation has been changed to make it correspond to the decimal one. Thus, 3-4 and 4 - 3 of Argelander appear here as 3-3 and 37. In the column headed " Star's Name " the nomenclature of the British Associa- tion Catalogue has been usually followed. When a star is not distinguished by either Bayer's letter or Flamsteed's number, the name of the constellation is given in the genitive case, followed by the name in initials of the catalogue and the number therein. Thus B.A.C. 151 denotes No. 151 of the British Association Catalogue for the year 1850. Other catalogues are distinguished as follows: L., Lacaille's Catalogue of 9766 stars reduced to the year 1750, by Henderson ; Lai., Lalande's Catalogue of 47390 stars for the year 1800, as published by the British Association ; P., the Catalogue of Piazzi for the year 1 800 ; B., the Catalogue of Brisbane for the year 1825, and O.A., Oeltzen's Catalogue of Argelauder's Southern Stars for the year 1850. For the stars in Argelander's Durchmusterung and in Weisse's Catalogue of Bessel's Zones, the name of the constellation is generally omitted, the former are marked "Arg.," followed by the declination of the zone and the star's number therein, the latter are marked "Weisse," followed by the Roman numeral indicating the hour, together with the number of the star. Other catalogues are distinguished by the names of the authors, as Yarnall for the Washington Catalogue of 1860, Gould and Stone for the great catalogues of Cordoba, 1875, and the Cape of Good Hope, 1880. INTRODUCTION. ix "Mean R.A. 1880-0" and "Mean Year of Observations "the formation of these columns has already been explained. The " Number of Observations " gives the total number of observations from which the Mean R.A. for 1880 has been formed. The " Annual Precession in R.A." has been computed from the formula s. P = 3-07234 + [0-12611] sin a cot A where P represents the annual precession in R.A., a the mean right ascension, and A the mean north polar distance for i88o'o. The coefficients are those of Prof. Peters. The " Second Term of the Precession in R.A." has been computed from the formula zP' = G + [0-46606] ab + [9-16386] cd where P' represents the second term of the precession, G a quantity dependent on the variation of Peters's coefficients, which has been tabulated from the ex- S. 3. pression G = 0*00322 0-0004304 P., and a, &, c, and d are the star numbers of which the formation will be explained farther on. Instead of P' it is usual in most star catalogues to give 2 P' under the name of the secular variation of the annual precession. Where, however, the terms of the third order are given, as in this catalogue, it is more convenient to give P', so that all the terms may be symmetrical. The " Third Term of the Precession in R.A." has been computed from the formula 100,000 P" = + 4-42 0-14 sin 2a + 7-26 cos 20 + ( 10-07 s ' n re ~ o'lz cos a + 3-16 sin 30) cot A + ( 0-28 sin 2a + H'5 2 cos 2a) cot 2 A + (4-2124 sin 30) cot S A In practice, the values of the first term and of the coefficients of the powers of cot A have been taken from a table computed for each minute of right ascension, but this was only done for stars in the neighbourhood of the pole. In other cases the values of P" have been taken from a table with the right ascensions and polar distances for arguments. "Annual Proper Motion in R.A." The formation of this column has been already explained. The sum of the annual precession and proper motion is called X SKCOXD MELBOURNE GEXKUAL CATALOGUE OF STARS. the star's annual variation, and for the proper reduction of a star's place from one epoch to another it is necessary to know the second and third terms of the annual variation. Generally these will differ very little from the same terms of the annual precession, but in some instances the proper motions are large enough to make a material difference ; in these cases the terms of the second order affected with proper motion have been computed, and given in the foot-notes, as it was thought desirable to keep the precession terms distinct, so as to facilitate subsequent investigations of the proper motions. The computation of P' and p' affected with proper motion has been made from the following expressions : 2 P' = G- - [7-98777] 6 cosec A (p + 2 m) + [9-16386] d (P + 2 M) [6-9866] Mm cot, A 2 p' = g + [9-03776] M 2 sin A cos A + [9-16386] d' (P + 2 M) where g is equal to 0-0004304 p and d' is one of the star numbers. The other letters represent the same quantities as before. The Logarithms of a, 6, c, and d which are Bessel's star numbers in Baily's order, according to the notation of the Nautical Almanac, and Connaissance des Temps, have been derived as follows : Log a = 8-82391 + log cos a. + log cosec A Log b = 8-82391 + log sin a + log cosec A Log c log (3-07234 + [0-12611] sin a cot A) Log d = 8-82391 + log cos a + log cot A "Mean North Polar Distance" and "Mean Year of Observations." The formation of these columns has already been described. " Number of Observations." The first of these columns gives the total number of observations above the pole ; the second, the total number below the pole, from which the two preceding columns have been formed. This distinction has been observed in order to render easy the application of any systematic corrections that may be found necessary. In a few instances where a star has been observed so near the horizon as to render the refraction very uncertain, it has been considered undesirable to combine the result with the one obtained from the upper culmination, it has therefore been placed among the foot-notes. The Annual Precession in N.P.D. has been computed from the formula p = [1-30220] COS a INTRODUCTION. xi The Second Term of the Precession in N.P.D. has been computed from the formula 2 p' = g + [9-16386] c d' in which p' represents the second term of the precession and the other letters the same quantities as before. As in the similar case of the right ascensions the quantity 2 p' is the one usually given in star catalogues under the name of the secular variation of the N.P.D. The Third term of the precession in N.P.D. has been computed from the formula 100,000 p" = 2 sin a + 167 cos a + 32 sin 2 a cos a + (lo8'9 sin 2a 4-2 sin 2 a) cot A + (9478 sin 2 a cos a) cot 2 A The values of the terms were taken from a table as in the similar case of the right ascensions. "Annual Proper Motion in N.P.D." A similar explanation will apply here to that which has been given for the same quantity in right ascension. The Logarithms of a', &', c', and d' have been obtained thus Log ' = Log (sin a cos A [9-63736] sin A) Log b' = (log cos a + log cos A) Log c' = (1-30220 + log cos a) Log d' = log sin a In the computation of a' the following transformation, which usually gives a more accurate result with about half the labour, has been used of late years. Adding the negative logarithm 0-23653 to the sum of the three logarithms used in computing c we get log a;, then Log a' = - | 9-63736 + log sin A + log (i + x) \ the log of i + x being taken from Gray's tables, which with log x for argument, give the logarithms of i + x and i -- x. The remaining columns contain the reference numbers to other star catalogues. Having now the mean place of a star for 1 8 80-0, its position at any other date 1880 + y may be found as follows. With the same notation as before and xii SECOND MELBOURNE GENERAL CATALOGUE OF STARS. calling the mean right ascension and north polar distance for the required date a' and A' we have a = a + (P + M) y + o-oi P' i/ 2 + o-oooi P" i/ 3 + &c. A' = A + (p + m) y + o'oi p' y 1 + o'oooi p" y 3 + &c. In the practical use of these formula?, when logarithms are not used, they will generally be more convenient in the following form : a = a + y | (P + M) + o-oi y (P' + o-oi y P") I A' = A + y I (p + m) + o-oi y (p' + o-oi y p") J- The reduction from the mean place at the commencement of the year to the apparent place at a particular time, may be effected by means of the day numbers, logs A, B, C, D, of the Nautical Almanac, in conjunction with the star numbers, logs a, 6, c, d, and a', &', c', d', of the catalogue. These star numbers are not constant, but change their values on account of the variability of the star's place and of the coefficients of precession ; still, except in the case of stars within twenty or thirty degrees from the pole, they may be used for many years without leading to sensible error. For special stars, whose places are frequently required, it is convenient to compute the star numbers for every fifth or tenth year, and obtain the intermediate values by interpolation. The use of the star numbers, however, may be completely avoided by the employment of the independent quantities /, log g, Gr, log h, H, and log i, which are now given in the Nautical Almanac for every day of the year, and effect the reduction with little more labour than by the former method. As Bessel's notation is preserved in the independent quantities, the sign of the resulting correction in declination must be changed, when it will apply as before to the north polar distance. The preceding simple formulae enable us to obtain the mean place of a star very accurately for any date not very distant from 1880, unless the star is near the pole ; thus the interval may amount to a century when the polar distance exceeds fifteen degrees, and the resulting error will be very small. But in the case of stars not far from the pole, especially when the interval of time is large, it would be necessary to take into account many terms of the precession depending on higher powers of y than the third.

For ordinary values of 6 the logarithm of ver cos 2 A can be obtained by INTRODUCTION. xv doubling the sum of the logarithms of sin o and cos A which occur in the expression for n and adding 9-69897 to the result. Instead of computing the differences of R.A. and N.P.D. as just explained, a' and A' may be computed directly ; the operations will then be fewer, but seven figure logarithms will be necessary for the work. The formulae are as follows : A = a + /3 in sin M = cos A m cos M = sin A cos A sin A' sin (a' y) = sin A sin A sin A' cos (a' y) = m cos (M + 0) cos A' = m sin (M + 0) As a general remark, it may be stated that in the formation of this catalogue the computations of the values of the first and second terms of the precession and of the logarithms of a, b, c, d, a', &', c', and d', were made in duplicate ; the other calculations were performed singly.
