Evershed, JohnThe Observations conducted at Kavalur during the 10 March 1977 Uranus occultation of SAO158687 revealed, apart from the occultation by a satellite system known as the e ring, a decrease in the star's brightness near the moment when the planet's atmosphere could have triggered the occurrence. Since then, a theoretical explanation for the genesis of the a, ß, ?, and d rings has been put out in addition to the identities of these rings becoming firmly established. After thoroughly analysing the Kavalur photoelectric record, they provide several novel elements of Uranus' satellite ring system.
Vainu Bappu, M. K.Astronomer William Stephen Jacob of India made important advances in the study of Saturn. He made observations of the Sunnian system and reported his findings, which included determining the elements of Saturn's satellites and Jupiter's adjusted mass. In 1852, he and William Lassell observed the transparency of Saturn's "dusky ring" almost simultaneously. In 1861, James Breen truncated Jacob's planetary observations. The Indian government paid for the printing of his books on the Saturnian system. Important new information about Saturn and its moons was made possible by these observations and calculations. One of his best-known pieces is a sketch he made on November 15, 1852, of Saturn. Using the Madras Equatorial, this drawing was created. W. Forrest then etched it. The illustration caught the appearance of Saturn on that specific date, providing valuable insights into the planet's features and characteristics at that time.
Jacob, William StephenThis item was about the observations of great September comet of 1882 made on 11th September 1882. Observed from Madras Observatory by N. R. Pogson.
Pogson, Norman RobertThe note contains an observation of the zodiacal light done by A. A Narayana Ayyar from Solar Physics Observatory, Kodaikanal, in 1916. A. A. Narayana Ayyar was the third Assistant at Kodaikanal Solar Physics Observatory. The observations were tabulated under the headings of date, time, stars on the brightest part of the zodiac, and remarks. Comments were recorded from January 23rd to February 2nd, 1916.
Narayana Ayyar, A. A.This item was about the description of minor planet named as 87 Sylvia. This was discovered on 16th May 1866 by N.R.Pogson. The comparison stars employed have all been observed with the Meridian Circle of the Madras Observatory.
Pogson, Norman RobertThis letter was about the Sun negatives being sent through mail except for the day on 26th June, which was cloudy.
Smith, Charles MichieThis letter was sent to the Director of Kodaikanal Observatory from Astronomer Royal about information on the Greenwich Numeration of sunspots for July 1911.
