...accumulated photographic plates which has been made possible by the grant lately made by the Carnegie Institution and by record observations made by Professor O. C. Wendell in regard to the transparency of comets to stellar bodies. The plates under study have been made both at the Cambridge station and at the Observatory in Peru. From the observations made by Professor Wendell he disproves the statement that comets are perfectly transparent. In addition to data on these two subjects observations are recorded on missing asteroids, whose disappearance is regarded as a serious loss by astronomers...
Besides a large number of observations made with the East Equatorial and the meridian circle instruments both in Cambridge and at the station in Peru, observations have been made along new and unique lines of work with the Henry Draper Memorial instruments. First, the spectra of large numbers of stars have been photographed simultaneously, with the result that large numbers of objects having peculiar spectra have been discovered. Secondly, stellar spectra, six inches long, and showing several hundred lines, have been obtained, demonstrating that large numbers of stars have identical spectra. Thirdly, photographs of the entire sky have been taken...
...station in Arequipa, Peru, 3,919 photographs have been obtained by Professor Bailey with the 13-inch Boyden telescope. The meridian photometer has also been sent to Peru, for the observation of the Planet Eros. With the Bruce Photographic telescope, 6,174 plates have been exposed, including a large number of exposures of asteroids, several of which are probably new. One of these asteroids has a greater eccentricity than any one hitherto known, and has been named Odlo, after the Peruvian goddess. A photograph of Eros was obtained nearly a month before it was observed elsewhere after its conjunction with...
