In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [2] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin, dated July 2016, [3] included a table of 125 stars comprising the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN (on 30 June and 20 July 2016) together with names of stars adopted by the IAU Executive Committee ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
