This update will not cause the name "Tepiamenit" to appear when selecting the barycentre nor the primary star. Typing the name will still select TAU Boo barycentre, however. - Pulcherrima = Epsilon Boötis already exists, alongside Izar and Mirak. However, this will change in the future. The IAU WGSN has a policy of assigning names to individual stars, and "Pulcherrima" itself is assigned to Epsilon Boötis B (and Izar to component A). Celestia has, so far, followed the "follow the intention of the namer" policy, where traditional star names are applied to the entire system while WGSN contrived names follow the WGSN's rules and is applied only to the primary star. Cases where the system has two or more named stars are the exception: the names are given to the stars that WGSN assigned. Effectively, this means when the binarity of Epsilon Boötis is added to Celestia, the name "Izar" and "Pulcherrima" will be moved to Epsilon Boötis A and B respectively, and the barycentre will no longer have a proper name. - Holoea = IRAS 05327+3404, Bajamar Star = 2MASS J20555125+4352246, Sapaki = WR67a, and Paloma = 2MASS J05243042+4244506 are not in Celestia currently, and hence are not named in this update. - Calvera = PSR J1412+7922 already exists. --- data/starnames.dat | 15 ++++++++------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/data/starnames.dat b/data/starnames.dat index db6f2fa3..31077f71 100644 --- a/data/starnames.dat +++ b/data/starnames.dat @@ -6067,7 +6067,7 @@ 67254:MM Vir 67261:V766 Cen 67263:CT CVn -67275:TAU Boo:4 Boo:Gliese 527 +67275:Tepiamenit:TAU Boo:4 Boo:Gliese 527 67285:Wolf 503:K2-262:EPIC 212779563 67288:87 Vir 67298:V980 Cen @@ -6363,7 +6363,7 @@ 71040:ER Dra 71048:V1007 Cen 71052:NS Vir -71053:RHO Boo:25 Boo +71053:Kalasungsang:RHO Boo:25 Boo 71075:Seginus:Ceginus:GAM Boo:27 Boo 71077:V356 Hya 71107:EF Boo @@ -6380,7 +6380,7 @@ 71264:V1010 Cen 71269:FP Dra 71280:CH Boo -71284:SIG Boo:28 Boo:Gliese 557 +71284:Genghe:SIG Boo:28 Boo:Gliese 557 71311:Gliese 558 71313:CG Cir 71319:CK Boo @@ -6433,13 +6433,13 @@ 71967:V1015 Cen 71974:4 Lib 71981:Gliese 561 -71995:34 Boo:W Boo +71995:Alrumh:34 Boo:W Boo 72010:c1 Cen 72026:UV Dra 72032:CL Cir 72055:PR Aps 72104:c2 Cen -72105:Izar:Mirak:Pulcherrima:EPS Boo:36 Boo +72105:Izar:Pulcherrima:Mirak:EPS Boo:36 Boo 72115:TW Boo 72117:V1016 Cen 72121:BU Cir @@ -6454,7 +6454,7 @@ 72200:HO Boo 72208:EK Boo 72209:HT Lib -72220:109 Vir +72220:Maenalus:109 Vir 72237:Gliese 562 72241:V836 Cen 72257:V553 Cen @@ -6658,7 +6658,7 @@ 74649:3 Ser 74654:CW Cir 74660:CX Cir -74666:DEL Boo:49 Boo +74666:Qigong:DEL Boo:49 Boo 74673:NZ Aps 74689:4 Ser 74702:V379 Ser @@ -11696,6 +11696,7 @@ 1002566791:U Lup 1002570026:UY Psc 1002572321:V566 And +1002573850:Stella Ludoviciana 1002574467:WW Cep 1002580760:EG Gem 1002582420:BU Aur
