ARGELANDER, FRIEDRICH WILHELM AUGUST (1799-1875) , German astronomer, 'was born at Memel on the 22nd of
March
  1799. He studied at the university of
Konigsberg
 , and was attracted to astronomy by F. W. Bessel, whose assistant he became (October 1, 1820). His treatise on the path of the
great
  comet of 1811 appeared in 1822; he was, in 1823, entrusted with the direction of the
observatory
  at Abo; and he exchanged it for a similar charge at Helsingfors in 1832. His admirable investigation of the sun's motion in space was published in 1837; and in the same year he was appointed professor of astronomy in the university of
Bonn
 , where he died on the 17th of
February
  1875. He also published Observations .Astrono-micae Alkae Factae (3 vols., 183o-1832); DLX Stellarum Fixarum Positiones Mediae (1835); and the first seven volumes of Astronomische Beobachtungen auf der Sternwarte zu
Bonn
  (1846-1869) , containing his observations of northern and southern
star
 -zones, and his
great
  Durchmusterung (vols. iii.-v., 1859-1862) of 324,198 stars, from the north
pole
  to -2- Dec. The corresponding atlas was issued in 1863. His observations (begun in 1838) and discussions of variable stars were embodied in vol. vii. of the same
series
 .
