他是一位不知疲倦的双星观察者，做出了成千上万次的千分尺测量。尤其是对弗里德里希·斯特鲁维的《多尔帕特星表》中的许多双星，注意到其中的一些联星，多年来在共有轨道上的位置已发生了改变。

Ercole (Hercules) Dembowski (12 January 1812 – 19 January 1881) was an Italian astronomer.

Biography

Dembowski was born in Milan. He inherited the title of "Baron" as the son of Jan Dembowski (Dębowski), one of Napoleon's Polish generals. He served in the navy of Austria-Hungary until 1843 when he retired for health reasons to Naples.

He was a tireless observer of double stars and made tens of thousands of micrometer measurements. In particular, he remeasured many double stars from Friedrich Struve's Dorpat Catalogue, noting how some of them had changed position over the years due to their mutual orbit as binary stars.

He won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1878.

The crater Dembowski on the Moon is named after him, as well as the main belt asteroid 349 Dembowska.
