Talk:Lambda Caeli

Source for the name?

Can anyone provide a source for the designation Lambda? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Imzogelmo (talk • contribs) 22:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

A query of the VizierR IV/27 form of the HD-DM-GC-HR-HIP-Bayer-Flamsteed Cross Index by Kostjuk (2002) lists HD 30202 as lam Cae, or Lambda Caeli. It is something of a mystery why the name isn't listed on the SIMBAD entry.—RJH (talk) 16:56, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

SIMBAD stops at Zeta Caeli, everything after comes up as an error. 70.29.208.247 (talk) 05:53, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Probably would make sense to rename the article to something like HD 30202.—RJH (talk) 22:59, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Since the constellation was coined by Lacielle, we'll have to look at Bode. Same thing with rho1, rho2, and sigma Ara - Bayer only designated down to kappa. Benkenobi18 (talk) 20:01, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Fixed. Simbad lists it as Lambda - but you have to know that it's an optical double ;) Benkenobi18 (talk) 20:37, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Where has the info on this page come from? First the two stars are over 140 Light years apart from each other yet they're in the same system. Secondly other sources on the internet just by googling the star gives 650 Light years as the distance from our sun. Pete2631 (talk) 07:46, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

λ is marked in Bode's Uranographia, along with a bunch of other Greek letters no longer in use. Lithopsian (talk) 14:56, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
