Nomenclature
- Named for Kasimir Romuald Graff (1878-1950), a Polish-German astronomer.
- [/Whitaker Whitaker] does not explain the origin of this name, which the on-line [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer] lists as having been approved in 1970. Although Graff appears in the cumulative list of approved names in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVB IAU Transactions XVB], it is not clear precisely when and where it was approved. - JimMosher JimMosher
- In certain catalogs of open star clusters, the cluster known as IC 4756 in the constellation Serpens Cauda is called (or catalogued as) Graff (or: Graff 1, Graff's Cluster).
