1.1849/51 -

The astronomical journal / published for the American Astronomical Society by the American Institute of Physics

According to Bolton, p.82, #689, this journal was edited by Benj. Apthorp Gould, Jr. for at least 1849-1861.

Although this journal is now published by scholarly societies, it was not at the beginning of its existence; moreover, neither of the sponsoring societies was in existence until 1899, which means that as of 2024-03-29 we are not including a history page for either society in the Repertorium.
