Scientific paper

The plates and record books of Adams' (1925) spectroscopic observations of Sirius B were reexamined in order to identify some possible sources of error in the redshift estimate. It is shown that Adams' spectra of Sirius B were contaminated by light from Sirius A. The implications of Adams' errors for the theory of relativistic degeneracy are briefly discussed.
