DSB I, 339: 'He made a great number of observations and calculations of planets, comets, and variable stars as early as 1857-1859, his first year at Göttingen University. ... He made heliometric observations of double stars, which led him to his dissertation 'Untersuchingen über veränderliche Eigenbewegungen (1862( [Here offered]. Bessel's assumption that certyain changes in the proper motions of the starts Sirius and Procyon are based on the presence of invisible companion stars had opened a new field in celestial mechanics. Auwers was able to derive the orbits for both Sirius and Procyon as weakly eccentric elipses, corresponding to the motion of of the visible principle stars around the center of graviuty of the double star system in forty or fifty years, respectively. A few years later it became possible also to observe theur very faint companions by optical means.... Auwers'lifework was the meticulous observation and calculation necessary to draw up star catalogs with highly accurate positions of the stars. ': NDB vol. I, p. 462: A second publication followed in 1868, Leipzig, which we add here in excellent original printed wrappers.
