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).
39 Eridani is a binary star also divisible in small amateur telescopes, 206 light-years from Earth. The primary is an orange-hued giant star of magnitude 4.9 and the secondary is of magnitude 8. 40 Eridani is a triple star system consisting of an orange main-sequence star, a white dwarf, and a red dwarf. The orange main-sequence star is the ...
ο Eridani (Latinised as Omicron Eridani) refers to 2 distinct star systems in the constellation Eridanus: Omicron 1 Eridani (ο 1 Eridani), or 38 Eridani, with traditional name "Beid" Omicron 2 Eridani (ο 2 Eridani), better known as 40 Eridani , with traditional name "Keid"
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 other ship indicates that its home system in 40 Eridani is also plagued by Astrophage infection. Blip-A docks with Hail Mary, and the two ships establish first contact. Grace develops a system to communicate with the spider-like five-legged alien, whom Grace names "Rocky" due to its stone-like exoskeleton.
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)
This is a list of high-proper motion stars.There is no specific velocity that is considered high, but the proper motion article notes that the majority of stars have a proper motion of 0.01 arc-seconds per year.
Theta Eridani, Latinized from θ Eridani, is a binary system in the constellation of Eridanus with a combined apparent magnitude of 2.88. [6] Its two components are designated θ 1 Eridani , formally named Acamar / ˈ æ k ə m ɑːr / (the traditional name of the system), [ 13 ] [ 14 ] and θ 2 Eridani .
