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 ...
Delta Eridani, which is Latinized from δ Eridani, is the fifth-brightest star in the constellation of Eridanus.. The star is visible to the naked eye and has been observed to vary slightly in brightness between magnitudes 3.51 and 3.56, [2] although subsequent observations did not bear this out. [11]
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).
The WGSN approved the name Beid for this star on 12 September 2016 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names. [ 10 ] In Chinese , 九州殊口 ( Jiǔ Zhōu Shū Kǒu ), meaning Interpreters of Nine Dialects , refers to an asterism consisting of ο 1 Eridani, 39 Eridani , Xi Eridani , Nu Eridani , 56 Eridani and 55 Eridani ...
Lambda Eridani (λ Eri) is a star in the constellation Eridanus.It is visible to the naked eye on a dark night with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.27. The distance to this star, based upon an annual parallax shift of 0.00402 arcseconds, is roughly 810 light years.
In 2016, the IAU organised a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [31] to catalogue and standardise proper names for stars. In its first bulletin of July 2016, [32] the WGSN explicitly recognised the names of exoplanets and their host stars that were produced by the competition. Epsilon Eridani is now listed as Ran in the IAU Catalog of Star ...
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.
