Pegasus (Chinese Astronomy)
According to traditional Chinese uranography, the modern constellation Pegasus is located within the northern quadrant of the sky, which is symbolized as the Black Tortoise of the North (北方玄武, ''Běi Fāng Xuán Wǔ''). The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 飛馬座 (''fēi mǎ zuò''), meaning "the flying horse 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.

Pi1 Pegasi
Pi1 Pegasi, Latinized from π1 Pegasi, is a star in the constellation Pegasus. Based upon changes to the proper motion of the visible component, this is a probable astrometric binary. It has a yellow hue and is dimply visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +5.58. The system is located approximately 319 light years distant from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +5 km/s. It is a member of the Ursa Major Moving Group of co-moving stars. The visible component is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of G8IIIb. It has a high rate of spin, with a projected rotational velocity of 135 km/s. This is giving it an equatorial bulge that is 17% larger than the polar radius. It is a shell star, being orbited by a circumstellar shell of cooler gas. This star is 530 million years old with 2.5 times the mass of the Sun. With the supply of hydrogen exhausted at its core, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
23 Pegasi
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...

Pi2 Pegasi
π2 Pegasi, Latinized as Pi2 Pegasi, is a single star in the northern constellation Pegasus. It is yellow-white in hue and visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.28. The distance to this object is approximately 263 light years based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +5 km/s. This star is an outlying member of the Ursa Major Moving Group. This object has a stellar classification of F5 III, matching an aging giant star that has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then cooled and expanded off the main sequence. At present it has 8.5 times the radius of the Sun. The star is 530 million years old with 2.48 times the Sun's mass. It shows a high rotation rate considering its evolutionary status, with a projected rotational velocity of 140 km/s. The star has been noted as a possible variable shell star.

5 Pegasi
5 (five) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number, and cardinal number, following 4 and preceding 6, and is a prime number. It has attained significance throughout history in part because typical humans have five digits on each hand. In mathematics 5 is the third smallest prime number, and the second super-prime. It is the first safe prime, the first good prime, the first balanced prime, and the first of three known Wilson primes. Five is the second Fermat prime and the third Mersenne prime exponent, as well as the third Catalan number, and the third Sophie Germain prime. Notably, 5 is equal to the sum of the ''only'' consecutive primes, 2 + 3, and is the only number that is part of more than one pair of twin primes, ( 3, 5) and (5, 7). It is also a sexy prime with the fifth prime number and first prime repunit, 11. Five is the third factorial prime, an alternating factorial, and an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3p ...

12 Pegasi
12 Pegasi is a K-type supergiant star in the constellation of Pegasus. It has a spectral type of K0Ib Hdel0.5, which indicates that it is a less luminous K-type supergiant with strong H-δ Balmer lines. The star has expanded to 81 times the radius of the Sun, and has an effective temperature The effective temperature of a body such as a star or planet is the temperature of a black body that would emit the same total amount of electromagnetic radiation. Effective temperature is often used as an estimate of a body's surface temperature ... of 4,185 K.
