Excerpt from The Binary StarsCredit has been given on many pages of this volume for assistance received in the course of its preparation; but I desire to express in this more formal manner my special gratitude, first of all, to my colleague, Dr. J. H. Moore, for contributing the valuable chapter on The Radial Velocity of a Star; also to Director E. C. Pickering and Miss Annie J.Cannon, of the Harvard College Observatory, for generously permitting me to utilize data from the New Draper Catalogue of Stellar Spectra; to Professor H. N. Russell, of Princeton University, Professor F. R. Moulton, of the University of Chicago, Professor E. E. Barnard, of the Yerkes Observatory, and Dr. H. D. Curtis, my colleague, for putting at my disposal published and unpublished material; and, finally, to Director W. W. Campbell, for his constant interest in and encouragement of my work. Nearly all of the manuscript has been read by Dr. Campbell and by Dr. Curtis, and several of the chapters also by Dr. Moore and by Dr. Reynold K. Young, and I am deeply indebted to them for their friendly criticism.The book appears at this particular time in order that it may be included in the series of Semi-Centennial Publications issued by the University of California.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Binary Stars (Dover Edition) By cortezhill Originally published in 1918 and completely revised in 1935, this book is still the "bible" in the field of double-star astronomy. It's author, a director of the famous Lick Obsrvatory, is widely recognised as the father of the modern study of binary star systems and, in this book, he sums up the results of centuries of research, including 40 years of his own work, and surveys the methods of observation and of orbital computation that have been developed.The book begins with an extensive two-part historical sketch that covers various steps in the discovery and interpretation of binary stars and assesses the work of many of the major contributors. There follow chapters on observational method for visual binary stars; the orbit of a visual bnary star; the radial velocity of a star (written by Dr. J. H. Moore of the University of California); the orbit of a spectroscopic binary star; eclipsing binary stars; the known orbit of binary stars; some binary stars of special interest (Alpha Centari, Sirius, Krueger 60, 61 Cygni, Delta Equu lei, Capella, Algol, and others), and the origin of binary stars. Within each of these topics, the author emphasizes method, telling how to plot orbits, where to locate important data and how to use them in computations, how to measure and reduce spectrograms, when to use eyepieces in observations, and so on. This practical material is truly unique, and it should prove especially useful in classroom instruction, to astronomy students, and to advanced hobbyists.Each chapter ends with a bibliograohy and there is additional, up-to-date bibliographical material in the notes to this new addition by Professor J. T. Kent. Professor Kent has also revised and corrected the text. Now, more than ever, this book is an unequalled source of information on methods of study and as a thorough summary of essential binary star material.--- from book's back cover

No attempt has been made to update the contents of the 1935 editions other than editorial. Really enjoyed the entire book and it will join my collection of claasic texts.
