Bulletin de l'observatoire de Nice (1926-1931)

The Nice Observatory Bulletin aims to calculate and publish Ephemerides of asteroids and comets. Published between 1916 and 1931, this collection comprises 69 issues.

In the issue 1 of the bulletin, Gaston Fayet writes : "En accord avec Mr. Bosler, Directeur de l'observatoire de Marseille, nous nous chargeons désormais des calculs relatifs aux comètes ou astéroïdes et de la publication correspondante, effectués jusqu'à présent par l'observatoire de Marseille. M. Bosler nous a d'ailleurs laissé espérer que MM. Maître et Blondel continueraient à collaborer à ces travaux"  [In agreement with Mr. Bosler, Director of the Marseille Observatory, we are now responsible for the calculations relating to comets or asteroids and the corresponding publication, carried out until now by the observatory of Marseille. Mr. Bosler ... hope that misters Maître and Blondel would continue to collaborate to this work"]
