UV Ceti?

Post #1by wtimmins » 07.10.2003, 02:28

Is UV Ceti (and BL Ceti) in the main catalog?

I could just add them, but I'd like to double check... not sure how to look in the main stars.dat.

No, but Grant Hutchison has made an add-on for nearby stars and stellar companions:

Forgot to mention that UV Ceti is actually the secondary companion in the Luyten 726-8 system.

Yeah... BL Ceti is one (of several) names for the primary.

And thank you very much!

Hmm. Annoyingly, while the add-on does add objects, in many case it isn't adding the starnames. For example, though it does add Alula Australis (for example), I can't do a search on Luyten 726-8, or Wolf 359.

I wonder if this is a 1.3.0 issue.

Looks like it is a 1.3.0 issue. Updating the starnames.dat and wishing for new mac versions. ;)
