克努特·伦德马克对东亚古代客星记录的研究与应用

Knut Lundmark’s Research and Application on Ancient East Asian Guest Star Records

瑞典天文学家克努特•伦德马克较早认识到了东亚古代天象记录在天文学领域的重要价值,自1921年起,他针对东亚古代客星记录展开了一系列考察,相关研究也为伦德马克的天文学工作提供了支持,促使伦德马克认识到利用历史记录解决天文学问题是值得推广的研究思路,笔者将结合相关历史资料,对伦德马克的相关研究成果进行介绍,分析其研究中的问题及其研究的价值。

Swedish astronomer Knut Lundmark was among the early proponents of recognizing the significant value of ancient East Asian celestial records in astronomy. Starting in 1921, he initiated a series of investigations into ancient East Asian comet and guest star (supernova and nova) records. These studies provided crucial support for Lundmark’s astronomical work and led him to appreciate the potential of utilizing historical records to address astronomical inquiries. In this paper, the author will incorporate relevant historical data to introduce and analyze Knut Lundmark’s research find-ings, examining the issues and value within his research.
