	Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve (Russian: Vasily Yakovlevich Struve) (April 15, 1793 – November 23, 1864 (Julian calendar: November 11)) was a Baltic-German astronomer from a famous dynasty of astronomers.
		Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve remained at Tartu, occupied with research on double stars and geodesy until 1839, when he founded and became director of the new Pulkovo Observatory near St Petersburg.
		Struve carefully measured the "constant of aberration" in 1843.

	Friedrich Wilhelm von Struve - Simple English Wikipedia
		Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve (April 15, 1793 – November 23, 1864 (Julian calendar: November 11)) was a German-born Russian astronomer.
		Struve added a lot to the study of galactic structure and also engaged in notable geodetic operations such as the triangulation of Livonia and the measurement of an arc of the meridian.
		Struve's stars, however, are now often named in his honor (for example, Struve 2398), whereas the original catalogue prefix was the Greek letter sigma.

	Friedrich Bessel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (July 22, 1784 – March 17, 1846) was a German mathematician, astronomer, and systematizer of the Bessel functions (which were discovered by Daniel Bernoulli).
		He narrowly beat Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve and Thomas Henderson, who measured the parallaxes of Vega and Alpha Centauri in the same year.
		As well as helping determine the parallax of 61 Cygni, Bessel's precise measurements allowed him to notice deviations in the motions of Sirius and Procyon, which he deduced must be caused by the gravitational attraction of unseen companions.

	Estonia - Struve Geodetic Arc
		Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve was born in Altona, then part of Denmark, in what is now Germany, to Jacob Struve (1755-1841).
		In its justification for inscription the UNESCO states that Struve's Geodetic Arc is the first accurate measuring of a long segment of a meridian, helping in the establishment of the exact size and shape of the world exhibits an important step in the development of earth sciences.
		The Struve Geodetic Arc is undoubtedly an outstanding example of technological ensemble – presenting the triangulation points of the measuring of the meridian, being the non movable and non tangible part of the measuring technology.

		In 1830, Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve was sent to the best known observatories around the world and after finishing his journey, Struve gave a detailed description of what he saw to Czar Nikolaus I and made many helpful suggestions for building the new observatory.
		Struve was full of optimistic energy and in his detailed notes about the construction of the observatory - Discription de l’ Observatoire Central de Pulkova - F.G.W. Struve described in poetic words the set up of those new and modern instruments.
		Struve was honored with the famous medal of the Holy Stanislav for his outstanding performance in establishing the Central Observatory at Pulkovo.

	Struve 2398 AB
		Struve 2398 is too dim to be seen with the naked eye.
		In 1958, Wilhelm F. Rabe (1893-1958) derived a period of 346 years with an average distance of 42 AUs (based on updated parallax) and an eccentricity of 0.55, so that the stars swing between 19.0 and 65.3 AUs apart.
		Struve 2398 B is a flare star, like UV Ceti (Luyten 726-8 B) shown flaring at left.

	Struve 1321 / Gl 388 AB
		According to radial velocity measurements which have been since disproved, both Struve 1321 A and B, each, were once suspected of having an unseen companion (Helmut A. Abt, 1971 private communication to Kyongae Chang; Morbey and Griffin, 1987; and possibly L.G. Romanenko, 1989).
		Struve 1321 B is a orange-red main sequence dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type K7-M0 Ve.
		Since Struve 1321 A and B are sort of like distant cousins to Sol, some speculate whether they might just be bright enough to support Earth-type life on a planet lucky enough to orbit in its water zone.

		Friedrich Bessel - Scientists - German Archive: Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (July 22, 1784 — March 17, 1846) was a German mathematician, astronomer, and systematizer of the Bessel functions (which, despite their name, were discovered by Daniel Bernoulli).
		He came to the attention of a major figure of German astronomy at the time, Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers, by producing a refinement on the orbital calculations for Halley's Comet.
		As well as helping determine the parallax of 61 Cygni, Bessel's precise measurements allowed him to notice deviations in the motions of Sirius and Procyon, which he deduced must be caused by the gravitational attraction of unseen companions.

		Wilhelm Struve discovered 7 NGC objects between 1824-26 while searching for double stars with the 9.6" f/17.8 Fraunhofer refractor at Dorpat (installed 1824).
		In nearly chronological order Struve's discoveries are: NGC 629 (#2 in appendix, Auwers 16), which is only a star group; the planetary nebulae NGC 6210 (#5) in Herkules and NGC 6572 (#6) in Sagittarius; NGC 6648 (#7, Auwers 41) in Draco, which is only a double star; NGC 2202 (

	ALPHA CENTAURI : 5
		Around 1830, an astronomical triumvirate of sorts was formed between the German astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (1784-1864) of Königsberg Observatory, Thomas Henderson at the Cape of Good Hope, and the Russian double star aficionado - Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve (1793-1864) of St. Petersburg”s Dorpat Observatory.
		In his hands was the first known stellar distance, but doubting the veracity of the results made him very reluctant to publish.
		Belatedly in 1835, Struve started measuring his own positions using the high-quality 23cm refractor and his homemade filar micrometer.
