In the southern-sky catalog Uranometria Argentina, 82 G. Eridani (often abbreviated to 82 Eridani) [9] is the 82nd star listed in the constellation Eridanus. [10] The Argentina catalog, compiled by the 19th-century astronomer Benjamin Gould, is a southern celestial hemisphere analog of the more famous Flamsteed catalog, and uses a similar numbering scheme. 82 G. Eridani, like other stars near ...
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).
HR 1614 (284 G. Eridani, GJ 183) is a star in the constellation Eridanus. Based upon parallax measurements, it is about 28.8 light-years (8.8 parsecs ) distant from the Earth . [ 2 ] It is a main sequence star with a stellar classification of K3V. [ 3 ]
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]
HD 10647 (q 1 Eridani) is a 6th-magnitude yellow-white dwarf star, 57 light-years away in the constellation of Eridanus. The star is visible to the unaided eye under very dark skies. It is slightly hotter and more luminous than the Sun, and at 1.75 billion years old, it is also younger. An extrasolar planet was discovered orbiting this star in ...
ζ Eridani (Latinised to Zeta Eridani) is the binary star's Bayer designation.WDS J03158-0849 A is its designation in the Washington Double Star Catalog.The designations of the two components as WDS J03158-0849 Aa and Ab derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
