Micrometric measures of double stars. By Philip Fox.

The following measures of miscellaneous double stars have been made with the 12-inch and 40-inch refractors of the Yerkes Observatory. The latter instrument has not been regularly assigned for this work, but has been utilized on occasions when conditions were not favorable for securing parallax plates. The time thus available has been used chiefly for the measurement of the Holden stars all of which are on my observing list. About half of these are

Each position angle, below, is derived from four in- dependent settings and each distance from three or more double distances. The star positions are not given, as the Burnham G.C. number and the name of the double star seem sufficient. The last column indicates the instrument used, the two telescopes being distinguished by their apertures.

of relative magnitude found in the estimates of various observers, one of these stars is possibly variable.

Zur Frage des Lichtwechsels des Sternes BD +36"3243 (7"). Von Lad. Prnckn.

Miss A. J. Cannon fuhrt diesen von A. Safarfk (A. N. 2874) als veranderlich angezeigten Stern (18~37~48?6 +36" 49" 1855.0) im Harvard Second Cat. p. 93 als wahrscheinlich veranderlich und von anderen Beobachtern bestatigt an. Bei der Bearbeitung des Safarfkschen Nachlasses habe ich aus I 33 Beobachtungstagen folgende Resultate erhalten : Im An- schlusse an die Potsdamer Durchmusterung bestinimte ich die Amplitude des hypoth. Lichtwechsels 7% bis 7". Das Beobachtungsmaterial ist in diesem Falle sehr homogen, und die Beobachtungen ergeben eine ausgepragte Lichtvariation, deren Form insoweit sehr eigentiimlich ist, als der Stern mehrere Monate in der Maximal- bezw. Minimal-Phase kon- stant bleibt. Die Periode ist dann nahezu ein Jahr. Ob- wohl die Beobachtungen selbst zu keinem Zweifel *4nlaO geben, bin ich doch der Meinung, daO in diesem Falle das Resultat doch mit Vorsicht aufzunehmen ist. Die Maxima fallen alle in die Zeit Mai-Juni, die Minima dagegen in die

Wintermonate. Ich habe nun alle Beobachtungen als Funk- tion des Stundenwinkels auszudriicken versucht und bekam aus ihrer Gesamtheit eine glatte Kurve, deren Kulmination auf Ende Juni fallt. Es ist demnach sehr wahrscheinlich, daO die Schatzung der Helligkeit des gefarbten Sterns (7%) von seiner Hohe abhangig war, wozu die selektive Absorption der Prager Atmosphare einen nicht geringen Beitrag liefern konnte, und daO der Stern auf Grund der Safarikschen Re- obachtungen allein bei seiner geringen Amplitude nicht als sicher veranderlich gelten kann. Die Beobachtungsreihe u m - fafit den ZeiQauni 1883- 1893, und die Originale erscheinen in der Gesamtausgabe meiner Bearbeitung, welche zur Publi- kation von der Kgl. Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften in Prag angenommen wurde. - Diesem kritischen Zweifel wider- sprechen die Beobachtungen Espins (A. N. 132.287) und Yendells (A. J. 14.133), welche fur spatere Zeit die Ampli- tuden bis zu 1m4 fanden, so daO der Stern dann doch rer-
