Excerpt from Researches in Stellar Photometry: During the Years to 1906, Made Chiefly at the Yerkes ObservatoryThe problems of stellar photometry are closely connected with many cosmic questions, primarily with the light changes of variable stars, but they have an equally important bearing on the questions of stellar distribution and evolution. It has been said by good authorities that it is of more importance to measure the light than the place of a star, and if one considers merely the astonishing number of variable stars now being discovered, it will be admitted that the import ance of stellar photometry can scarcely be overestimated. The material here submitted is the natural outgrt of the writer's variable-star work, the plans being extended as the instrumental and other facilities were improved.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
