Reviews
From the reviews:
"For astronomers, ‘Hipparcos - The New Reduction of the Raw Data’ promises to open up a new chapter in the study of the age, size and properties of stars, helping them to tackle fundamental questions about the origins of the universe with greater precision than before. … In some cases, its contents are up to five times more accurate than the previous guide, offering scholars what in astronomical terms is the closest they can get to pinpoint accuracy."
