Nomenclature
Gyula Fényi (January 8, 1845 - December 21, 1927) was a Hungarian astronomer. Fényi Gyula was noted for his observations of the Sun, including spectroscopic studies of solar prominences, as well as sun spots. He was the first person to demonstrate a correlation between the number of solar prominences and the number of sun spots. Between 1880 until 1919 he assembled over 6,000 drawings of the Sun, all using the same instrument. He published over 200 scientific papers in several languages.
Rimae Fenyi (an unofficial name from D.Caes for the system of rilles on the floor of Fenyi).
