摘要

The assumption that Ptolemy adopted star coordinates from a star catalog by Hipparchus is investigated based on Hipparchus' equatorial star coordinates in hisCommentary on the phenomena of Aratus and Eudoxus. Since Hipparchus' catalog was presumably based on an equatorial coordinate system, his star positions must have been converted into the ecliptical system of Ptolemy's catalog in hisAlmagest. By means of a statistical analysis method, data groups consistent with this conversion of coordinates are identified. The found groups show a high degree of agreement between Hipparchus' and Ptolemy's data. The value of the obliquity of the ecliptic underlying the conversion is estimated by adjustment and statistically agrees with Ptolemy's value of this parameter. The results allow the assumption that Ptolemy's coordinates were determined from Hipparchus' coordinates by an accurate star globe or even by calculation. For a calculative derivation of ecliptical coordinates from equatorial ones, possible calculation methods are discussed considering the mathematics of theAlmagest.
