The stars that correspond to Eridanus cannot be fully seen from China. In Chinese astronomy , the northern part is located within the White Tiger of the West (西方白虎, Xī Fāng Bái Hǔ ). The unseen southern part was classified among the Southern Asterisms (近南極星區, Jìnnánjíxīngōu ) by Xu Guangqi , based on knowledge of ...
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).
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 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 ...
Upsilon 2 Eridani (υ² Eridani, abbreviated Upsilon 2 Eri, υ 2 Eri), officially named Theemin / ˈ θ iː m ə n /, [10] [11] is a star in the constellation of Eridanus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.8. [2]
The star has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.26, [2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye on a dark, clear night. The distance to this star, as determined via the parallax method, [1] is about 136 light years. This is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A5 V. [3] (Some sources list it as A8 V.) [11 ...
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).
