What method do astronomers use to determine the distance to a relatively close star like Sirius?

Astronomers use the method of parallax to determine the distance to relatively close stars like Sirius. By measuring the apparent shift in position of the star as the Earth moves around the Sun, astronomers can calculate the star's distance based on trigonometry.

What is the contibution of georg joachim iserin in trigonometry?

Georg Joachim Iserin, also known as Georg Tullius, made significant contributions to trigonometry by introducing the concept of the "sine" function in his work "Trigonometry" published in 1543. He was one of the first to use the sine table, which simplified the calculations of angles and distances. His work laid the groundwork for more advanced trigonometric concepts and calculations, influencing later mathematicians and astronomers in their studies. Additionally, Iserin's approach helped to transition trigonometry from a purely geometric discipline to a more analytical one.
