[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]
It is an evolved red clump [12] giant star with a stellar classification of G8+ III. [3] The measured angular diameter is 2.21 mas. [13] At the star's distance, this yields a physical size of around 16 times the radius of the Sun. [6] It radiates 138 [7] times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 5074 K. [8]

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]
Beta Eridani is the star's Bayer designation. It has the traditional name Cursa [4] [9] derived from Al Kursiyy al Jauzah, "the Chair (or "Footstool") of the Central One". This is the name of the star association consisting of this star along with Lambda Eridani, Psi Eridani and Tau Orionis. [12]
Tau Eridani (τ Eridani, τ Eri) is a group of fairly widely scattered stars in the constellation Eridanus. τ 1 Eridani (1 Eridani) [1] τ 2 Eridani (2 Eridani) [2] τ 3 Eridani (11 Eridani) [3] τ 4 Eridani (16 Eridani) [4] τ 5 Eridani (19 Eridani) [5] τ 6 Eridani (27 Eridani) [6] τ 7 Eridani (28 Eridani) [7] τ 8 Eridani (33 Eridani) [8 ...
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.
