Bosona, also HD 206610, is an orange giant star in the constellation of Aquarius. It is a K-type giant star with an apparent magnitude of 6.249, which, according to the Bortle scale, makes it faintly visible to the naked eye from dark rural skies. This star is spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 1.77 km/s. [5] [6] [7] [2]
The star HD 206610 and its planet HD 206610 b are named Bosona and Naron respectively. The names were selected in the NameExoWorlds campaigns by Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Naron is one of the names given to the Neretva river in Herzegovina originating with the Romans (Naro, Narona, Narenta, Nerenta), while in local tradition the name is said to go back even earlier with the Celts who called it Nera Etwa, which means the Flowing Divinity. [8] [9] [10]
The host star HD 206610 is named Bosona in accordance with the historic name for Bosnia, Horion Bosona, described in De Administrando Imperio by Porphyrogenitus in 10rth century, and its namesake the river Bosna's ancient name Bosona (Bosina, Basina, Basante). [8] [9] [10]
HD 206610 has one known planet, HD 206610 b named Naron, discovered in 2010 using the radial velocity method. [11]

It is located at a distance of 93 light years from the Sun based on parallax. HD 93083 is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +43.65 km/s, having come to within 43 light-years some 484,000 years ago.
HD 4208 is a star in the southern constellation of Sculptor. It has a yellow hue with an apparent visual magnitude of 7.78, making it too dim to be visible to the naked eye. But with binoculars or small telescope it should be an easy target. This object is located at a distance of 111.6 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +57 km/s.
HD 45350 is a solar analog star with an exoplanetary companion in the northern constellation of Auriga. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.89, which means it is an 8th magnitude star that is too dim to be readily visible to the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of 153 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −21 km/s.
HD 175541 is an 8th magnitude star with an exoplanetary companion in the constellation Serpens. It has the proper name Kaveh, which was selected by Iran during the NameExoWorlds campaign as part of the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Kaveh is one of the heroes of Shahnameh. The apparent visual magnitude of 8.02 is too faint for this star to be visible in the naked eye. It is located at a distance of approximately 424 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +20 km/s. Despite its distance, it was given the number 736 in the Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars.
HD 99109 is an orange-hued star with an exoplanetary companion in the constellation of Leo. It has an absolute visual magnitude of +9.10, which is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The distance to this system is 179 light-years based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +33 km/s. The star is one and half degrees away from the celestial equator to the south.
HD 192699 is a yellow subgiant star located approximately 214 light-years away in the constellation of Aquila. It has the apparent magnitude of 6.45. Based on its mass of 1.68 solar, it was an A-type star when it was a main-sequence. In April 2007, a planet was announced orbiting the star, together with HD 175541 b and HD 210702 b.
HD 231701 is a yellow-white hued star in the northern constellation of Sagitta, near the southern constellation border with Aquila. With an apparent visual magnitude of 8.97, it is too dim to be viewed with the naked eye, but can be seen with powerful binoculars or a small telescope. Parallax measurements provide a distance estimate of approximately 356 light years from the Sun, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −63 km/s. It is predicted to come as close as 189.5 light-years in 1.345 million years.
HD 8574 is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Pisces. It can be viewed with binoculars or a telescope, but not with the naked eye having a low apparent visual magnitude of +7.12. The distance to this object is 146 light years based on parallax, and it has an absolute magnitude of 3.88. The star is drifting further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +18 km/s. It has a relatively high proper motion, advancing across the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.298 arc seconds per annum.
HD 118203 is a star located in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. It has the proper name Liesma, which means flame, and it is the name of a character from the Latvian poem Staburags un Liesma. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Latvia, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU.

HD 181342 is a star in the constellation of Sagittarius. With an apparent magnitude of 7.55, it cannot be seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements made by Gaia spacecraft put the star at a distance of 394 light-years away.
HD 100655 is a star in the zodiac constellation of Leo, located 449 light years away from the Sun. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +6.45, which makes it a challenge to see with the naked eye under ideal viewing conditions.

HD 7199 is a star in the constellation Tucana located 118 light years distance from the Sun based on parallax. It has an orange hue but is too dim to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of +8.06. The star is drifting further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +5.6 km/s.
HD 98219, also named Hunahpú, is a subgiant star in the constellation Crater. It has a confirmed exoplanet. At around 4 billion years old, it is a star around 1.3 times as massive as the Sun that has cooled and expanded to 4.5 times the Sun's diameter, brightening to be around 11 times as luminous. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) gave the opportunity to Honduras to name the star Hunahpú as part of NameExoWorlds. Hunahpú was one of the twin gods who became the Sun in K'iche' (Quiché) Mayan mythology.
HD 212771, also named Lionrock, is a solitary star in the southern zodiac constellation Aquarius. It has an apparent magnitude of 7.60, making it readily visible with binoculars but not the naked eye.
