The constellation Scutum as it can be seen by the naked eye The constellation Scutum in the night sky, enhanced for color and contrast. Scutum is not a bright constellation, with the brightest star, Alpha Scuti, being a K-type giant star [6] at magnitude 3.85. However, some stars are notable in the constellation.
Alpha Scuti, Latinized from α Scuti, is an orange-hued star in the southern constellation of Scutum. Originally part of the Aquila constellation, Alpha Scuti was a latter designation of 1 Aquilae. [9] It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.83. [2]
Delta Scuti, Latinized from δ Scuti, is a variable star in the southern constellation Scutum.With an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 4.72, [4] it is the fifth-brightest star in this small and otherwise undistinguished constellation.
R Scuti (R Sct) is a star in the constellation of Scutum. It is a yellow supergiant and is a pulsating variable known as an RV Tauri variable . It was discovered in 1795 by Edward Pigott at a time when only a few variable stars were known to exist.
Officially, the name scutoid was coined because of its resemblance to the shape of the scutum and scutellum in some insects, such as beetles in the subfamily Cetoniinae. [1] Unofficially, Clara Grima has stated that while working on the project, the shape was temporarily called an Escu-toid as a joke after the biology group leader Luis M. Escudero.
