The publications listed below are available from the U.S. Naval
Observatory. Except for the last three in the list, they are part of
three extended series:
- Astronomical Papers Prepared for the Use of The American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac, (AstPap)
- U.S. Naval Observatory Circulars, (Circ)
- Publications of the U.S. Naval Observatory, Second Series, (PubUSNO)
They provide computed data, formulas, mathematical developments, or observational results by Naval Observatory astronomers. Only the titles listed below are available from the Naval Observatory. Other titles in the series are no longer available for purchase, although technical libraries (especially astronomy libraries at universities) may have copies.
To order any of these publications, use the order form provided: print it out, fill it in, and mail it to the Naval Observatory with your payment. Unfortunately, we have no way to fill telephone, fax, or e-mail orders, as only checks or money orders (in U.S. currency, drawn on a U.S. bank) can be accepted for payment, and payment must be received before orders are filled. Prices listed below include shipping.
