ζ Cancri (Latinised to Zeta Cancri) is the system's Bayer designation; ζ 1 Cancri and ζ 2 Cancri those of its two constituents. The designations of the two constituents as ζ Cancri AB and C, and those of their components—ζ Cancri A, B, Ca, Cb, Cb1 and Cb2—derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the ...
