Abstract
THE COMPANION TO PROCYOV.—As is well known Prof. Schaeberle discovered in November 1896 a companion to Procyon, which he suggested would prove the theoretical companion predicted by Bessel. This difficult object —difficult on account of its nearness to Procyon, not by reason of its faintness —has been satisfactorily observed at the Yerkes Observatory, thus confirming Prof. Schaeberle's measures, the motion of the object, and its suggested identity with Bessel's companion. We have now the following measures:
