As with all magnitude systems in astronomy, the latter scale is logarithmic and inverted i.e. more negative numbers are more luminous. Most stars on this list are not bright enough to be visible to the naked eye from Earth, because of their high distances, high extinction, or because they emit most of their light outside the visible range.
A star prime is a star number that is prime. The first few star primes (sequence A083577 in the OEIS) are 13, 37, 73, 181, 337, 433, 541, 661, 937. A superstar prime is a star prime whose prime index is also a star number. The first two such numbers are 661 and 1750255921. A reverse superstar prime is a star number whose index is a star prime ...
In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [2] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin, dated July 2016, [3] included a table of 125 stars comprising the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN (on 30 June and 20 July 2016) together with names of stars adopted by the IAU Executive Committee ...
GLIMPSE — (together with Mercer in the list of 10978 star clusters) Glp — S. de Glasenapp (double stars) GM — Gyulbudaghian-Maghakian (planetary nebulae) Gol — H. Goldschmidt (double stars) GOS — Galactic O Star Catalogue [19] GOSSS — Galactic O-Star Spectroscopic Survey [19] Goyal — A.N. Goyal (double stars)
A first version was created in 2013, a more refined version in April 2014. In total, the Attitude Star Catalog contains 8,173,331 entries with information on position, proper motion and magnitude. [4] Starting with Gaia DR2, the Attitude Star Catalog was replaced with a new list generated from the Gaia Main Data Base (MDB), using the same criteria.
ESO 383-76 lies at the center of the Abell 3571 galaxy cluster, which is a possible member of the Shapley Supercluster (or alternatively the Shapley 8 Concentration – an outlying structure). [3] This massive supercluster hosts many clusters with similar supergiant elliptical galaxies, among them ESO 444-46 .
