[1] [2] In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [3] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the names Theemin for υ 2 Eridani on 1 February 2017 and Beemim for υ 3 Eridani on 30 June 2017; both are now included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names. [4]
Upsilon 3 Eridani (υ 3 Eridani, abbreviated Upsilon 3 Eri, υ 3 Eri), officially named Beemim / ˈ b iː m ə m /, [10] is a star in the constellation of Eridanus.It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.96 [2] The distance to this star, based upon an annual parallax shift of 11.01 mas, [1] is around 296 light-years.
Epsilon Eridani (Latinized from ε Eridani), proper name Ran, [17] is a star in the southern constellation of Eridanus. At a declination of −9.46°, it is visible from most of Earth's surface. Located at a distance 10.5 light-years (3.2 parsecs ) from the Sun , it has an apparent magnitude of 3.73, making it the third-closest individual star ...
υ 2 Eridani (Latinised to Upsilon 2 Eridani) is the star's Bayer designation. It bore the traditional name Theemin (also written as Theemim and Beemin). [14] In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [15] to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars.
Eta Eridani (η Eridani, abbreviated Eta Eri, η Eri), officially named Azha (with a silent 'h', possibly / ˈ eɪ z ə /), [8] [7] is a giant star in the constellation of Eridanus. Based on parallax measurements taken during the Hipparcos mission, it is approximately 137 light-years from the Sun .
ζ Eridani (Latinised to Zeta Eridani) is the binary star's Bayer designation.WDS J03158-0849 A is its designation in the Washington Double Star Catalog.The designations of the two components as WDS J03158-0849 Aa and Ab derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
Delta Eridani, Latinized from δ Eridani, also named Rana, is the fifth-brightest star in the constellation of Eridanus. The star is visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 3.54. It is relatively near to the Sun, with a distance of about 29.6 light-years as determined from parallax. [1]
