The Mathematical Theory Of Eclipses According To Chauvenets Transformation Of Bessels Method Explained And Illustrated PDF Download

Excerpt from The Mathematical Theory of Eclipses According to Chauvenet's Transformation of Bessel's Method: Explained and Illustrated; To Which Are Appended Transits of Mercury and Venus and Occultations of Fixed Stars Professor chauvenet has generally followed bessel's method but in many of the problems has given his own solutions, making his work the best yet published on the subject of eclipses. While Astronomy was advancing in this direction, other branches of science were no less active in lines that were destined eventually to have great influence upon Astronomy. As early as 1814, though they had been observed previously, fraunhofer studied the dark lines in the solar spectrum to which his name has been given; but it was not until 1859, when kirchoff made his great discovery of the reversal of the spectrum, that their nature and origin became known, and Spectrum Analysis burst into a science, the connecting link between Chemistry and Astronomy.
