DE SITTER, Willem : New Mathematical Theory of Jupiter's Satellites. I and II. The Intermediary Orbit and the Variations

Enschede, 1925

Annalen van de Sterrewacht te Leiden XII, Derde4 Stuk. A very good indeed ex-library copy in the original dull blue printed thin card wrappers as issued, spine faded, neat stamps prelims else a clean tight unread example. Willem de Sitter (6 May 1872 – 20 November 1934) was a Dutch mathematician, physicist and astronomer. De Sitter made major contributions to the field of physical cosmology. He co-authored a paper with Albert Einstein in 1932 in which they argued that there might be large amounts of matter which do not emit light, now commonly referred to as dark matter. He also came up with the concept of the de Sitter space and de Sitter universe, a solution for Einstein's general relativity in which there is no matter and a positive cosmological constant. This results in an exponentially expanding, empty universe. De Sitter was also famous for his research on the planet Jupiter.
