Aries In Chinese Astronomy
According to traditional Chinese uranography, the modern constellation Aries is located within the western quadrant of the sky, which is symbolized as the White Tiger of the West (西方白虎, ''Xī Fāng Bái Hǔ''). The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 白羊座 (''bái yáng zuò''), meaning "the white sheep constellation".

Traditional Chinese Star Names
Chinese star names ( Chinese: , ''xīng míng'') are named according to ancient Chinese astronomy and astrology. The sky is divided into star mansions (, ''xīng xiù'', also translated as "lodges") and asterisms (, ''xīng guān''). The system of 283 asterisms under Three Enclosures and Twenty-eight Mansions was established by Chen Zhuo of the Three Kingdoms period, who synthesized ancient constellations and the asterisms created by early astronomers Shi Shen, Gan De and Wuxian. Since the Han and Jin Dynasties, stars have been given reference numbers within their asterisms in a system similar to the Bayer or Flamsteed designations, so that individual stars can be identified. For example, Deneb (α Cyg) is referred to as (''Tiān Jīn Sì'', the Fourth Star of Celestial Ford). In the Qing Dynasty, Chinese knowledge of the sky was improved by the arrival of European star charts.

19 Arietis
19 Arietis (abbreviated 19 Ari) is a star in the northern constellation of Aries. ''19 Arietis'' is the Flamsteed designation. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.70, which means it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.81 mas, it is approximately away from Earth. At that distance, the brightness of the star is diminished by 0.21 in magnitude from extinction caused by interstellar gas and dust. This is a red giant star with a stellar classification of M0 III. It is a semi-regular variable with periods of 32 and 275 days; the brightness of the star changes by an amplitude of 0.14 in magnitude during those intervals. The measured angular diameter of this star, after correction for limb darkening, is . At the estimated distance of Delta Ophiuchi, this yields a physical size of about 39 times the radius of the Sun. The effective temperature of the outer envelope is 3,690 K, giving it the cool reddish glow of an M- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Epsilon Arietis
Epsilon Arietis (ε Ari, ε Arietis) is the Bayer designation for a visual binary star system in the northern constellation of Aries. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.63 and can be seen with the naked eye, although the two components are too close together to be resolved without a telescope. With an annual parallax shift of 9.81 mas, the distance to this system can be estimated as , give or take a 30 light-year margin of error. It is located behind the dark cloud MBM12. The brighter member of this pair has an apparent magnitude of 5.2. At an angular separation of from the brighter component, along a position angle of , is the magnitude 5.5 companion. Both are A-type main sequence stars with a stellar classification of A2 Vs. (The 's' suffix indicates that the absorption lines in the spectrum are distinctly narrow.)

47 Arietis
47 Arietis is a single star in the northern constellation of Aries. The designation is from the star catalogue of English astronomer John Flamsteed, first published in 1712. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.80. It has an annual parallax shift of , which is equivalent to a physical distance of approximately from Earth. The star is moving further from the Sun with a radial velocity of +26.6 km/s. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.237 arc seconds per year. The combination of these movements indicate this star is a member of the Hyades supercluster. Li et al. (2000) categorized this as an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F5 V(e). Previously, Cowley (1976) listed a class of F5 IV, which would indicate it is a subgiant star. It is most likely (97.8% chance) the source of X-ray emission that is detected at these coordinates, and it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
