cds-question@unistra.frcatalogsastrometrySusanne M. Hoffmann reconstructed the not preserved celestial globe (and star catalogue) of ancient Hipparchus of Nicaea digitally. She investigated the data (celestial coordinates) on this globe and traced their sources. By means of error analysis, visualizing, mapping, and correlation plots she examined the potential origin of the Hipparchian star coordinates (or some of them) in observations of earlier Greek or Babylonian data. As preserved by Ptolemy (Almagest) and Pliny the Elder, Hipparchus is famous for his exact observations but he does, of course, also rely on older data - e.g. especially elaborated by Ptolemy's discussion of precession.2017hihi.book.....Hhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/I/362CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-tohttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-18683-8 : Hipparchs Himmelsglobushttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=I/362https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=I/362http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=I/362https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=I/362https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=I/362http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=I/362GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table I/362/hipplo (Hipparchus's Lost Star Catalogue (hippCat_allRaw_bb.csv) (25/08/2026 vercion))https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/I/362/hipplo?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/I/362/hipplo?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/I/362/hipplo?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true225.486509740.39056860.0055555555555555566/15 79 90 116 161 290 341 377 428-429 433 435 463 486 630 666 689 737 826 915 1035 1143 1460 1504 1535 1633 1704 1728 1749 1766 1879 1885 2127 2202 2225 2282 2317 2340 2460 2591 2593 2690-2691 2837 2884 2970 3030 3060 3118 3134 3138 3176 3229 3258 3625 3637 4095 4140 4143 4146 4181 4206 4297 4311 4419 4444 4559 4574 4578 4683 4690 4711 4724 4808 5010 5382 5535 5631 5726 6082 6126 6166 6203 6219 6298 6340 6674 7205 7238 7402 7545 8333 8354 8424 8476 8496 8518 8534 8671 8690 8767 8843 8845 9048 9054 9127 9213 9219 9310 9520 9610 9717 9835 9849 9936 10055 10090 10096 10568 10731 10741 10783 11193 11732 11851 11959 12057 12082 12131 12472 12523 12544 12865 12953 12960 12962 13158 13282 13392 13682 13688 13960 13963 14396 14632 14690 14711 14777 14855 14899 14906 14908 15179 15203 15583 15597 15621 15628 15631 15633 15650 15715 15995 16213 16275 16834 16895 17085 17194 17357 17368 17395 17425 17551 17608 17716 17754 17888 18373 18591 18804 18856 18915 18978 19029 19045 19157 19309 19323 19329 19507 19676 19797 19825 19827 19930 20012 20184 20311 20322 20581 20609 20759 20761 20981 21089 21879 21885 22015 22300 22334-22335 22511 22787 23369 23408 23421 23426 23533 23540 23611 23820 23864 23922 23963 23979 23995-23996 24048 24207 24223 24480 24793 24799 24877 24924 24969 25015 25056 25138 25182 25231 25246 25278 25353 25487 25506 25608 25614 25659 25789 25930 25973 26078 26120 26174 26254 26320 26552 26633 26758 26975 27102 27268 27498 27574 27578 27822 27884 28128 28257 28316 28352 28394 28436 28705 28737 28773 28776 28940 28944 28968 29005 29024 29196 29208 29390 30339 30419 30518 30543 30567 30818 30953 30958 31475 31600 31776 31784 31929 32271 32645 35842 36233 36240 36317 36498 36693 37732 37779 38558 39095 39216 39707 39831 39868 39978 40068 40408 40486 40795 41689 41763 42081 42270 42273 42318 42356 42366 42383 42428 42672 42818 42948 42956 42977 43035 43365 43407 43416 43429 43460 43494 43639 43809 43843 43850 44015 44075 44248 44305 44360 44389 44554 44785 44833 44903 44993 45032 46835 46939 47353 47514 47703 47740 48037 48051 48088 48101 48330 48355 48534 48552 48572 48587 48589 48606 48747 48856 48900 49047 49049https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/I/362?format=asciidefaultI/362/hipploHipparchus's Lost Star Catalogue (hippCat_allRaw_bb.csv) (25/08/2026 vercion)HippAdd3?
