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 ...
[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]
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 .
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 ...
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]
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.
