Papers of George Airy

A copy of Thomas Catton's observations reduced by Airy. The volume includes Catton's original transit observations, tabular right ascensions of Polaris and Delta Ursae Majoris, fundamental stars and small stars, equatorial intervals, comparisons of imperfect transits, computations of azimuth error, rates of the transit clock and clock errors, and observations and accounts of occultations of stars and satellites.

The work was published posthumously in 1853.
