Notes

  1. 1.

    This was the name used for the dark lines (the absorption lines that appear on a continuous background) that were observed in the spectrum of the surface of the Sun, the photosphere, ever since the scientist had drawn up an initial listing in 1814, giving the locations of the most intense, denoted A to H, with I used for the violet end of the spectrum.

  2. 2.

    He later moved to 29 rue Bertrand.

  3. 3.

    This is the Collegio Romano, which was founded in 1551 by Ignazio di Loyola, and which was to become the Pontifica Università Gregoriana (Pontifical Gregorian University) in 1873.

  4. 4.

    This was an equatorial instrument, built by Merz in 1854. The diameter of its objective was 24 cm, with a focal length of 4.3 m.

  5. 5.

    This name is quite old, because it was used by the German, Fischer, in May 1788: Fischer, “Ueber die Sonnenflecken” in Astronomisches Jahrbuch für das Jahr 1791 (Berlin, 1788), 195–201, p. 197.

  6. 6.

    The brother of the chemist Henri Sainte-Claire Deville.
