Abdul Rahman Al-Sufi[a] (7 Desember 903 – 25 Mei 986) adalah astronom berkebangsaan Persia yang juga dikenal sebagai 'Abdul Rahman Abu Al-Husain, 'Abdul Rahman Sufi, atau 'Abdurrahman Sufi, dan pada Dunia Barat dikenal sebagai Azophi dan Azophi Arabus.[1] Al-Sufi menerbitkan buku berjudul Kitab Bintang Tetap pada tahun 964. Al-Biruni melaporkan penelitian Al-Sufi pada ekliptika dilakukan di Shiraz. Dia tinggal di istana Buwaihi di Isfahan.[1][2][3]

Riwayat hidup[sunting | sunting sumber]

Abdul Rahman Al-Sufi adalah salah satu dari sembilan astronom Muslim terkenal. Namanya menyiratkan bahwa dia berasal dari kalangan Sufi. Dia tinggal di istana Emir Adud ad-Daula di Isfahan, Persia, dan bekerja menerjemahkan dan meneliti karya astronomi Yunani Kuno, terutama Mathematike Syntaxis oleh Ptolemaeus. Dia menyumbangkan beberapa koreksi pada daftar bintang oleh Ptolemaeus dan melakukan perkiraan kecerahan dan magnitudonya sendiri yang sering menyimpang dari yang ada dalam karya Ptolemaeus, dengan hanya 55% magnitudo Al-Sufi yang identik dengan magnitudo Ptolemaeus[4]

Dia adalah penyumbang utama penerjemahan astronomi Helenistik ke dalam bahasa Arab yang berpusat di Iskandariyah, Mesir, yang pertama mencoba menghubungkan istilah Yunani dengan nama-nama bintang dan rasi Arab tradisional, yang sama sekali tidak berhubungan dan tumpang tindih dengan cara yang rumit.

Kehormatan[sunting | sunting sumber]

Sejak 2006, Masyarakat Astronom Iran – Komite Amatir (ASIAC) mengadakan Kompetisi Pengamatan Sufi untuk mengenang Al-Sufi. Kompetisi pertama diadakan pada tahun 2006 di utara Provinsi Semnān[5] dan yang kedua diadakan pada musim panas 2008 di Ladiz dekat Zahedan. Lebih dari 100 peserta dari Iran dan Irak berpartisipasi dalam acara tersebut.[6]

Kawah bulan Azophi dan planet katai 12621 Alsufi dinamai untuk menghormatinya.

Pada tanggal 7 Desember 2016, Google Doodle memperingati ulang tahunnya yang ke-1113.[7]
