Sherburne Wesley Burnham

Sherburne Wesley Burnham
Sherburne Wesley Burnham (Şerburn Vesley Burnham) (12 Aralık 1838 – 11 Mart 1921) Amerikalı gökbilimci.
Kraliyet Gökbilim Topluluğu'nun (Royal Astronomical Society) üyesi olarak özellikle çiftyıldızlar üzerine olan çalışmaları ile ün kazandı ve 1290 tanesinin kataloğunu yayımladı. Aynı kataloğu daha sonra 13.665 çiftyıldız içerecek biçimde genişletti. Aynı konu üzerine çalışan Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve ve Otto Wilhelm von Struve birçok yıldızı 22 cm ve 38 cm'lik teleskopları ile gözlemlemiş olmalarına rağmen, Burnham 15 cm'lik teleskobu ile yine de 451 yeni çiftyıldız keşfetmiştir. Bu başarısı ona gözlemevlerinde saygın konumlar elde etmesine önayak olmuştur.
Burnham ayrıca adı yarım asır sonra Herbig-Haro cismi olacak olan Burnham Bulutsusu'nu (şimdiki adıyla HH 255) keşfetmiştir.
