A Study of the Occultations of Rohiṇī (Aldebaran) in Classical Indian Astronomy (2023)

unapi

In Indian classical astronomy, the Siddhāntic texts discuss in detail conjunctions of the Sun, the Moon, the planets and important stars like Rohiṇī (Aldebaran), Tiṣya or Puṣya (δ Cancri), Citrā (Spica), Jyeṣṭhā (Antares), Makhā (Regulus) etc. The star Rohiṇῑ is given prominence, and in this paper we discuss the circumstances required for an occultation of Rohiṇῑ to occur, historical examples of such occultations and the periodicity of Rohiṇῑ occultations.
