The Bayer designation Upsilon Eridani (υ Eri / υ Eridani) is shared by four or seven stars, in the constellation Eridanus: υ 1 Eridani (50 Eridani) υ 2 Eridani (52 Eridani) υ 3 Eridani (43 Eridani) υ 4 Eridani (41 Eridani) Some sources include the following stars: υ 5 Eridani (f Eridani) υ 6 Eridani (g Eridani) υ 7 Eridani (h Eridani)
HD 17925 is a variable star in the equatorial constellation of Eridanus.It has the Gould designation 32 G. Eridani and the variable star designation EP Eri. The star has a yellow-orange hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye in good seeing conditions with an apparent visual magnitude that varies from 6.03 down to 6.08. [16]
40 Eridani is the system's Flamsteed designation and ο² Eridani (Latinised to Omicron 2 Eridani) its Bayer designation.The designations of the sub-components – 40 Eridani A, B and C – derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
HD 10647 (q 1 Eridani) is a 6th-magnitude yellow-white dwarf star, 57 light-years away in the constellation of Eridanus. The star is visible to the unaided eye under very dark skies. It is slightly hotter and more luminous than the Sun, and at 1.75 billion years old, it is also younger. An extrasolar planet was discovered orbiting this star in ...
In the southern-sky catalog Uranometria Argentina, 82 G. Eridani (often abbreviated to 82 Eridani) [9] is the 82nd star listed in the constellation Eridanus. [10] The Argentina catalog, compiled by the 19th-century astronomer Benjamin Gould, is a southern celestial hemisphere analog of the more famous Flamsteed catalog, and uses a similar numbering scheme. 82 G. Eridani, like other stars near ...
58 Eridani is a main-sequence star in the constellation Eridanus. It is a solar analogue, [12] having similar physical properties to the Sun. The star has a relatively high proper motion across the sky, and it is located 43 light years distant. It is a probable member of the IC 2391 moving group of stars that share a common motion through space ...
