By William Wallace Campbell

Book Overview

Stellar Motions: With Special Reference To Motions Determined By Means Of The Spectrograph (1913) is a book written by William Wallace Campbell. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of the motion of stars, with a particular focus on the use of spectrographs to determine these motions. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of stellar motion. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subject, while the subsequent chapters cover topics such as the measurement of radial velocities, the determination of proper motions, and the study of binary stars. The book also includes a detailed discussion of the use of the Doppler effect in determining the motion of stars, as well as a discussion of the limitations of spectroscopic methods. Throughout the book, Campbell draws on his extensive experience in the field to provide practical advice and guidance to astronomers and astrophysicists. Overall, Stellar Motions is an important work in the history of astronomy, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of stellar motion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
