The letters in this volume cover Poincare’s multifaceted career in astronomy in its entirety, extending from the time of his first publications in 1880 to the end of his life in 1912. At a tender age, Poincare established his authority in questions of celestial mechanics, and his views were soon sought after on a vast array of questions by the leading astronomers and geodesists of his time, including C.V.L. Charlier, G.H. Darwin, H. Faye, F.R. Helmert, G. W. Hill, A. Lindstedt, A.M. Liapunov, N. Lockyer, S. Newcomb, K. Schwarzschild, and F. Tisserand. Poincare and his correspondents take up topics ranging from the three-body problem and perturbation theory to the determination of the geoide and the equilibrium figures of rotating fluid masses. The volume also sheds light on Poincare’s three terms as president of the Bureau of Longitudes, where he guided French astronomy and geodesy through ambitious projects, such as the measurement of an arc of meridian near Quito.


Les lettres du troisieme volume de la Correspondance de Poincare scandent toute son oeuvre astronomique, allant de ses premiers memoires sur les courbes definies par une equation differentielle (1881), jusqu'aux analyses des hypotheses cosmogoniques (1911). Encore tres jeune, Poincare s'est fait remarquer pour sa maitrise des questions de la mecanique celeste, de tel sorte que les astronomes et les geodesiens l'ont souvent interpelle, y compris O. Callandreau, C.V.L. Charlier, G.H. Darwin, F.R. Helmert, A. Lindstedt, A.M. Lyapunov, Simon Newcomb, Karl Schwarzschild et F. Tisserand.

Avec ses correspondants, Poincare abordaient les questions principales de l'astronomie mathematique, du celebre probleme des trois corps a la theorie des perturbations et aux figures d'equilibre des masses fluides en rotation. La correspondance de Poincare editee et annotee dans ce volume concerne, au-dela des memoires mathematiques, l'activite de Poincare en tant que Professeur d'astronomie mathematique et de mecanique celeste a la Sorbonne, redacteur en chef duBulletin astronomique, et membre du Bureau des longitudes, que Poincare a preside a trois reprises. Sa correspondance illumine, dans ce dernier cadre, la realisation de la mesure d'un arc de meridien a Quito, et le reglement d'un differend franco-brittanique a propos de la difference de longitude entre Greenwich et Paris.
