Notes

^ This star is Gould's 41st of Ara in his Uranometria Argentina. (Gould, B. A., (2009) Uranometria Argentina, [Reprinted and updated by Pilcher, F.]) Kostjuk (see below) erroneously lists it as simply "41 Ara". SIMBAD follows this error in its object query result for "LHS 444 -- High proper-motion Star".
