摘要

由于对重写本手稿的多光谱成像以及随后的破译和解释，古希腊天文学家希帕恰斯丢失的恒星目录的新证据得以曝光。这一新证据是迄今为止最权威的证据，使喜帕恰斯星表的重建取得了重大进展。特别是，它证实了星表最初是在赤道坐标系中组成的。这也证实了托勒密的星表并不是仅仅基于喜帕恰斯星表的数据。最后，现有的数字证据与真实恒星坐标1°以内的精度一致，这将使喜帕恰斯的星表比他的继任者克劳迪乌斯·托勒密的星表更加准确。

New evidence for Hipparchus’ Star Catalogue revealed by multispectral imaging

New evidence for ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus’ lost Star Catalogue has come to light thanks to multispectral imaging of a palimpsest manuscript and subsequent decipherment and interpretation. This new evidence is the most authoritative to date and allows major progress in the reconstruction of Hipparchus’ Star Catalogue. In particular, it confirms that the Star Catalogue was originally composed in equatorial coordinates. It also confirms that Ptolemy’s Star Catalogue was not based solely on data from Hipparchus’ Catalogue. Finally, the available numerical evidence is consistent with an accuracy within 1° of the real stellar coordinates, which would make Hipparchus’ Catalogue significantly more accurate than his successor Claudius Ptolemy’s.
