释义 | Tisserand, Félix French astronomer in full François-félix Tisserand born Jan. 13, 1845, Nuits-St.-Georges, Côte-d'Or, Fr. died Oct. 20, 1896, Paris French astronomer noted for his textbook Traité de mécanique céleste, 4 vol. (1889–96; “Treatise on Celestial Mechanics”). This work, an update of Pierre-Simon Laplace's work on the same subject, is still used as a sourcebook by authors writing on celestial mechanics. Before publishing this work, Tisserand had already established his brilliance in his doctoral dissertation (1868), analyzing Charles-Eugène Delaunay's lunar theory, and in his work as director of the Toulouse Observatory (1873–78). In 1874 he was elected to the Academy of Sciences as a corresponding member and was elevated to full membership in 1878. In 1892 Tisserand was appointed director of the Paris Observatory, and while there he contributed to the production of a still-unfinished international photographic star catalog, the Catalogue photographique de la carte du ciel (“Photographic Catalog of the Map of the Sky”). |
