Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thorough analysis of systematic errors in parallax measurements made with the meridian instrument. Following a brief history of the use of the meridian instrument to measure stellar parallax, the author describes the apparatus employed, method of observation, and method of reduction. A description of the system of weights employed in the solution of observation equations is also provided. The author discovered a significant systematic error in the resultant parallaxes and describes, in detail, how this error was detected and corrected. The corrections for systematic error in the parallaxes are confirmed using independent observations with screens. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
