 Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Star catalogue   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Bonner Durchmusterung and followups were the most complete of the pre-photographic star catalogues.
The Bonner Durchmusterung itself was published by Friedrich Wilhelm Argelander[?], Adalbert Krüger[?], and Eduard Schönfeld[?] between 1852 and 1859.
Star names from these catalogues include the initials of which of the four catalogues they are from (though the Southern follows the example of the Bonner and uses BD), followed by the angle of declination of the star, followed by an arbitrary number as there are always thousands of stars at each angle.

 BD - Bonner Durchmusterung
The BD database contains the Bonner Durchmusterung visual survey of stars in the declination zones +89 to -01 degrees.
The survey, completed by Argelander and his assistants in the years 1852-1861, was performed and the stars cataloged by allowing the telescope to drift along the mean declination of each zone and recording the positions and magnitudes of stars crosssing the transit line of each field.

 CD-23 17699 / Gl 884
Thome died before the completion of this southern sky atlas in 1914, when 578,802 stars from declination -22° to -90° were published as the Cordoba Durchmusterung ("Survey").
The BD and CD were greatly expanded and extended into the modern age of photographic surveys with the subsequent creation of the Cape Photographic Durchmusterung from South Africa.
CD-23 17699 is a orange-red dwarf star of uncertain spectral type K5 to M0 (NStars), but there seems to be agreement that it is a main-sequence dwarf of luminosity type of V. The star's spectral type has been classed as red as M1 (Mount Wilson Observatory).

 BD+63 238 / HR 511 / Gl 75
The star's designation as BD+63 238 comes from a catalogue that was originally published in 1863 by Friedrich Wilhelm August Argelander (1799-1875) on the position and brightness of 324,198 stars between +90° and -2° declination that were measured over 11 years from Bonn, Germany with his assistants Eduard Schönfeld (1828-1891) and Aldalbert Krüger (1832-1896).
The catalogue became famous as the Bonner Durchmusterung ("Bonn Survey") and is typically abbreviated as BD.
It was later expanded and extended during the early 20th Century with the Cordoba (observed from Argentina) then the Cape Photographic Durchmusterung (observed from South Africa).

A final duel purpose forcefield type is the stealth 6-hit, which is similar to the standard 6-hit, but is designed to limit the output radiation that may lead to detection.
The individual catalogues are the Bonner Durchmusterung (BD), the Sudentliche Durchmusterung (SD), the Cordoba Durchmusterung (CD), and the Cape Photographic Durchmusterung (CP).
Originally the names of stars listed in the Durchmusterungs consisted of a pair of letters identifying the individual catalogue, followed by a plus or minus and the declination (as viewed from a telescope on Earth).

 "Amateur Astronomy". First Data about Stars Designations
The "Bonner Durchmusterung" (BD) lists stars down to 10th magnitude on the basis of declination stripes 1° wide, circling the 24 hours of right ascension.
In each strip stars are attributed serial numbers from West to East, based on their R.A. Beyond 2° South of celestial equator, the Bonner Durchmusterung was complemented by the SBD, then the Cordoba Durchmusterung (CD, or CoD).
Names in the Durchmusterungs are the catalogue abbreviation (BD, SBD, etc) followed by the strip declination, and the star range in the latter.

 AAVSO: Manual for Visual Observing of Variable Stars
Since professional astronomers have neither the time nor the resources needed to gather data on the brightness changes of thousands of variables, amateurs have been making a real and useful contribution to science by observing variable stars and submitting their observations to the AAVSO or similar organizations.
The importance of the contribution of the serious amateur observer was first recognized in the mid-1800’s by Friedrich Wilhelm August Argelander (1799—1875), a German astronomer, famous for his Bonner Durchmusterung (BD) star atlas and catalogue.
In 1844 when only 30 variable stars were known, Argelander wrote in an article: “ …I lay these hitherto sorely neglected variables most pressingly on the heart of all lovers of the starry heavens.

Strictly speaking this is the apparent magnitude which would be observed in the absence of interstellar extinction (see Appendix A).
The last major catalogues compiled using magnitudes estimated by direct observation are the great Durchmusterungen produced in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: the Bonner Durchmusterung, the Bonner Südliche Durchmusterung and the Cordoba Durchmusterung.
However, the visual system is still in use, particularly for variable-star work.

Argelander at Bonn Observatory began measuring star positions with a 3-inch refractor to compile a gigantic list, the Bonner Durchmusterung (Bonn Survey).
The Cordoba Durchmusterung (CD or CoD) completed the job to the south celestial pole with 613,953 more, so that visual durchmusterung, or "DM," names were bestowed on a grand total of 1,071,800 stars.
The BD, with its detailed star charts to 9th or 10th magnitude and its reliable, well-checked list of positions, remained an essential everyday tool of working astronomers for nearly a century.
