Visual Double Star Catalogs — Past, Present, and Future
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The first lists of visual double stars were published by Mayer and Herschel in the late 18th century, but only sporadic lists and catalogs appeared during most of the following century, until Burnham began the systematic collection of such data, which has continued to this day. This contribution discusses the evolution of the visual double star data base over the last centuries and suggests how the data might be ordered to serve future needs.
