Measurement of Visual Double Stars by Interferometer and Micrometer
Abstract
The Investigator conducted basic astronomical research involving interferometer and micrometer measurements of double stars during 2 months, July and August 1952. The measurements of these stars were all performed by means of the 18-inch refracting telescope of the Flower Astronomical Observatory of the University of Penna., Upper Darby, Pa. In total, 234 observations were made of 86 different stars. Stars generally were chosen for observation when such measures promised material contribution to determination of their orbits and, consequently, their masses.
