Synopsis
Variable Stars of Short Period is a book written by Edward Charles Pickering in 1881. The book is a comprehensive study of variable stars with short periods, which are stars that exhibit changes in brightness over a short period of time. Pickering's work is based on his observations of these stars using the Harvard College Observatory's telescope. The book covers the classification, measurement, and analysis of short-period variable stars, including their magnitudes, spectra, and light curves. Pickering also discusses the importance of studying these stars in understanding the structure and evolution of the universe. The book is written in a technical style and is intended for astronomers and other scientists interested in the study of variable stars. It is considered a landmark work in the field of astronomy and remains a valuable resource for researchers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
