Supplement to the Greenwich Observations for the Year 1832; Containing the Reductions of the Observations.
Abstract
On the Principal Instruments Used at the Observatory; Table of the Inclination of the Axis of the Transit Instrument, as determined by the Level, of the Position of the Line of Collimation, and of the Deviation from the Meridian Mark; Tabulated Account of the Clock Error and Clock Rate at 0h of Sidereal Time; Recapitulation of the Horizontal Points and Index Error of the Mean of the Six Microscopes; The Mean North Polar Distances of Stars, deduced from the Circle Observations and reduced to January 1, 1832; A Catalogue of the Right Ascensions and North Polar Distances of Stars, Derived from the preceding Results; A Catalogue of the Right Ascensions and North Polar Distances of the Principal Stars, extracted from the preceding Catalogue, and compared with the Standard Catalogue for the Year 1832; Occultations of the Fixed Stars and Planets, Occultation of Saturn, May 8 1832; Eclipses of Jupiter's Satellites; Observations of the Comet of 6.7 Years, with the Five Feet Equatorial in the Eastern Dome, (Sir G. Shuckburg's), 1832; The Observed Right Ascension and Declination of the Centre of the Sun, the Time of the Semidiameter's passing the Meridian, and the Semidiamteter in the Arc, compared with the values given in the Nautical Almanac and Supplement; The Mean Solar Time and Right Ascension of the Bright Limb of the Moon at its Meridian Passage, and the Observed Declination of the Centre of the Moon when it passes the Meridian; Mean Time of Transit, Right Ascension, and Declination of the Planets; Diameters of the Planets from Measurements by the Transit Circles and Micrometer; Reduction of the Observations of the Sun about the Equinoxes, for determining the Equation of the Equinoctial Point; Determination of the Mean Obliquity of the Ecliptic, from Observations of the Sun about the Solstices
