Strange angular measure notation?
Hello all,
I have run into a few older papers that have some angular measure
notation with which I'm unfamiliar.
For example, 0.'25 and 0."25, with the quote marks directly over the
decimal point in each case.
I suspect that these denote 25 arcmin and 25 arcsec respectively, but
I'd like to be sure about that.
Can anyone confirm what this notation is supposed mean?
Thanks!
