Nomenclature
- Named for Casimir Marie Gaudibert (1823-1901), a French astronomer.
- According to Whitaker (p. 226), this name was introduced by Krieger and König.
- In 1887, Gaudibert, under the direction of Camille Flammarion (and with Léon Fenet doing the art work), published a lunar map in which they introduced six names later adopted into the original IAU nomenclature: Carpenter, Flammarion, Frères Henry (meaning since changed), Mouchez, Nasmyth and Rutherfurd (Whitaker, p. 150). A small reproduction of the map appears on p. 149 of Whitaker's book. - JimMosher JimMosher
