	Wilhelm Gliese -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Wilhelm Gliese (June 21 1915 – June 12 1993) was a German astronomer.
		He worked at the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, first in (Capital of Germany located in eastern Germany) Berlin and then in (additional info and facts about Heidelberg) Heidelberg.
		He is best known for his Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars, and some stars are best known by the catalogue number he gave them, such as (additional info and facts about Gliese 710) Gliese 710.

	Gliese 229 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A simulated image of Gliese 229 from a distance of 2,081,000 km (1,293,000 miles).
		Gliese 229 is a cool, red star, and is a companion to Gliese 229b, a brown dwarf - a failed star.
		Gliese 229b is thought to be 20 to 50 times the mass of Jupiter, thus too large to be classified a planet, but too small to ignite and become a star.

	Gliese 710
		Many astronomers now refer to this star as Gliese 710 by its designation in the famous Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars (CNS, now ARICNS database) of Wilhelm Gliese (1915-93), who was a longtime astronomer at the Astronomiches Rechen-Institut at Heidelberg (even when it was at Berlin).
		Gliese 710 is a relatively dim, main sequence orange-red or red dwarf star of spectral and luminosity K5-M1 V (ARICNS; Joy and Abt, 1974; and Upgren et al, 1972).
		Gliese 710 B? According to García-Sánchez et al (1999), astrometric residuals in early proper-motion measurements suggested a possible periodicity of 4.7 years (around 1,700 days) but its significance was uncertain (Grossenbacher et al, 1968; and V.

		However, many astronomers now refer to this star by its designation in the famous Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars (CNS, now ARICNS database) of Wilhelm Gliese (1915-93), who was a longtime astronomer at the Astronomiches Rechen-Institut at Heidelberg (even when it was at Berlin).
		A preliminary analysis by Jeffrey A. Valenti in 1998 of the spectrum of the star suggested that the star is less enriched than Sol in elements heavier than hydrogen ("metal-poor") by a factor of two to three, but one team of astronomers apparently now believes that it may be as enriched as Sol (exoplanets.org).
		Gliese 876 is a variable star with the designation "IL Aquarii." Some other useful star catalogue designations include: IL Aqr, Gl 876, Hip 113020, BD-15 6290, G 156-57, LHS 530, LTT 9244, LPM 841, LFT 1745, Vys 337, and Ross 780.

		Gliese 876 (or GJ 876) is a small, red star known as an M dwarf the most common type of star in the galaxy.
		Lissauer and Rivera have been analyzing Keck data on the Gliese 876 system in order to model the unusual motions of the two known planets, and three years ago got an inkling that there might be a smaller, third planet orbiting the star.
		The team plans to continue to observe the star Gliese 876, but is eager to find other terrestrial planets among the 150 or more M dwarf planets they observe regularly with Keck.

	CNS3 - Gliese Catalog of Nearby Stars, 3rd Edition
		The original catalogue and the notes describing it were prepared by Wilhelm Gliese and Hartmut Jahreiss, Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, Moenchhofstrasse 12-14, D-6900 Heidelberg 1, Germany, in 1991.
		All new nearby stars have not yet been given Gliese (Gl) or Gliese and Jahreiss (GJ) numbers and those stars were all given the name of "NN" in the original version of this catalogue.
		Generally, the preferred designations are GL, e.g., GL 10, the Gliese number, or the designation given to the star in the 2nd version of the Gliese Catalog (Gliese 1969), or GJ, e.g., GJ 1001, also often called the Gliese number, and derived from a tabulation of Gliese and Jahreiss (1979, Astr.

		Three stars (Gliese 59, 67 and 68) are known as Old Population I and are almost certainly younger than the sun.
		Because Gliese 86 has a velocity, eccentricity and inclination similar to 82 Eridani, it seems likely that its chemical composition may also not have severe metal deficiencies, but be similar to those of 82 Eridani.
		Gliese 67 is a young star of at least solar metal abundances, considering its low velocity and eccentricity.

	Milky Way: Structure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		From Gliese's catalog, which contains 1,049 stars in a volume with a radius of 65 light-years, the average calculated density is less than one-third the calculated density for stars within 17 light-years.
		Gliese has estimated that when incompleteness of the catalogs is taken into account, the true stellar density is on the order of 0.004 stars per cubic light-year, which includes the probable number of unseen companions of multiple systems.
		The density distribution of stars can be combined with the luminosity-mass relationship to obtain the mass density in the solar neighbourhood, which includes only stars and not interstellar material.

	The Zeta Reticuli Incident
		The Gliese catalog uses photometric, trigonometric and spectroscopic parallaxes and derives a mean from all three after giving various mathematical weights to each value.
		Marjorie Fish was aware of the catalog variations, but has assumed the Gliese catalog is the most reliable source material to utilize.
		One significant fact against a charade is that the data from the Gliese catalog was not published until 1969, five years after the star map was drawn by Betty Hill.

		The Gliese (later Gliese-Jahreiss) catalogue attempts to list all stars within 20 parsecs of Earth (later editions expanded the coverage to 25 parsecs).
		Although this version of the catalogue was termed "preliminary", it is still the current one as of September 2001, and is referred to as CNS3.
		Unlike the Gliese, it does not cut off at a given distance from the Sun; rather it attempts to catalogue all known measured parallaxes.

	glbtq >> arts >> Murnau, Friedrich Wilhelm
		Working with many of his colleagues from Germany, including scenarist Carl Mayer, cameraman Karl Struss, and art director Rochus Gliese, this "song of two humans" remains one of the most beautiful films ever made, a magical parable about a peasant couple whose love is threatened but who find renewed commitment.
		An imposingly tall, thin man of artistocratic demeanor, Murnau (born Friedrich Wilhelm Plumpe on December 28, 1888 in Bielefeld, Germany) was the product of the artistic ferment of the Weimar Republic.
		Before embarking on his career as a filmmaker, he trained as an art historian, which may explain the painterly images of his films and the primacy he accorded to the visual.

	Ancient Suns — FAQ: Gliese
		Also known as the Catalog of Nearby Stars, the Gliese Catalog was the first concerted effort to list all of the stars near our own.
		Three editions have been compiled by the German astronomer, Wilhelm Gliese, for which the catalog was named.
		By 1991, when the preliminary version of the third edition came out, the number of stars known to exist within 25 parsecs had swelled to nearly 4,000.

	The Zeta Reticuli Incident
		A suspicious alignment, detected in late 1968, turned out to be almost a perfect match once new data from the detailed 1969 edition of the Catalog of Nearby Stars became available (this catalog is often called the “Gliese catalog” -- pronounced “glee-see” -- after its principal author, Wilhelm Gliese).
		The data on some of the stars in the map is just not good enough to make a definitive statement (the fact that measurements of most of the stars in question can only be made at the relatively poor equipped southern hemisphere observatories accounts for the less reliable data).
		The scientific director of the U.S. Naval Observatory, K.A. Strand, is among the world’s foremost authorities on stellar distances for nearby stars.

		Probably the primary exponent of this approach to constructing a local census was Wilhelm Gliese.
		Extending the distance limit to 22 parsecs (parallaxes exceeding 44 mas), Gliese increased the sample size to 1890 stars in 1529 systems, and data for those stars were published in 1969 as the Catalogue of Nearby Stars (Gliese, 1969: CNS2).
		Data continued to accumulate during the 80s, and Gliese and Jahreiss continued to compile those results, producing an electronic version of a third version of the catalogue in the early 90s (Jahreiss & Gliese, 1991, pCNS3).

	How small are small stars really?
		It was discovered in 1894 by a Scottish astronomer, Robert Thorburn Ayton Innes (1861 - 1915), during a stay at the Cape Observatory (South Africa), due to its very fast motion on the sky, about 3.9 arcsec/year.
		It is also designated GJ 551, the 551st entry in the "Catalogue of Nearby Stars", published in 1969 by two German astronomers, Wilhelm Gliese (1915-93) and Helmut Jahreis.
		The visual magnitude is 11, or 100 times fainter than what can be perceived with the unaided eye on a dark sky; the parallax measured by the ESA Hipparcos astrometric satellite is 772.33 +- 2.42 milliarcsec, corresponding to a distance of 4.22 light-years.
