Among the remaining stars, the nearer ones exhibit proper motion, so it is only a matter of time before some of them cross a constellation boundary and switch constellations as a consequence. In 1992, Rho Aquilae became the first star to have its Bayer designation "invalidated" by moving to a neighbouring constellation—it is now a star of the ...
The proper motion of Rho Aquilae, for example, carried it across the boundary into Delphinus in 1992. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] A further complication is the use of numeric superscripts to distinguish neighboring stars that Bayer (or a later astronomer) labeled with a common letter.
R Aquilae is an aging red giant on the asymptotic giant branch [3] with a stellar classification that varies over time, between M5e and M9e, [2] where the 'e' suffix indicates emission features in the spectrum. The cooler spectral types occur near the minimum visual magnitude, and the hottest near maximum. [11]
Pao-toa was the name for the entire constellation in the Marquesas Islands; the name meant "Fatigued Warrior". [58] Also, Polynesian constellations incorporated the stars of modern Aquila. The Pukapuka constellation Tolu, meaning "three", was made up of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Aquilae. [59] Altair was commonly named among Polynesian peoples, as ...
