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). Is this name related to the astronomer Kasimir Romuald Graff? Did he investigated this cluster? - DannyCaes DannyCaes Feb 15, 2014
  • And indeed, the name Kasimir Graff is mentioned in the Italian Wikipedia page for cluster IC 4756. - DannyCaes DannyCaes Feb 15, 2014
