Needed

External links, some headings, see also, etc.. AFAIK CHARA array has some measurements on the metrics of the subsystem ζ Tau A, see Talk:CHARA array. Said: Rursus (☻) 22:39, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name

It might be useful if someone could comment on its lack of any common name; e.g. Arabic or western. It's curious such a bright star would have Zeta designation and name only assigned by Chinese astronomers. Indeed, I can find no reference to an alternative moniker, which is rare among a brighter-than-three-magnitude star. It's particularly curious since so many dim stars in Taurus among the Pleiades are named.

It has an Arabic name: Shurnarkabtishashutu,
