EspañolRUDOLPHINE TABLES
(Redirected from Tabulae Rudolphinae)
The 'Rudolphine Tables' (Latin: ''Tabulae Rudolphinae'') consist of a star catalog and planetary tables published by Johannes Kepler in 1627. They contain positions for the 1,006 stars measured by Tycho Brahe, and 400 and more stars from Ptolemy and Johann Bayer, with directions and tables for locating the planets of the solar system.
The purpose of the Rudolphine Tables is essentially to provide an accurate tool for erecting horoscopes, including many function tables of logarithms and antilogarithms, and instructive examples for computing planetary positions.
The tables based observations by Tycho Brahe, the renowned Danish astronomer, are accurate mostly up to one arc minute [1], and were the first to include corrective factors for atmospheric refraction.[2]
