Nu Herculis, Latinized from ν Herculis, is a binary and variable star in the constellation of Hercules. With an apparent magnitude of about 4.4, it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft put it at a distance of about 860 light years.
Mu Canis Majoris is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Canis Major. The pair can be located a little to the southwest of the point midway between Gamma and Theta Canis Majoris, and the components can be split with a small telescope. The system is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.12. Based upon an annual parallax shift of just 2.62 mas as seen from Earth, this system is located roughly 1,200 light years from the Sun.
g Herculis is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Hercules. It has the Flamsteed designation 30 Herculis, while g Herculis is the Bayer designation. This system is visible to the naked eye as a faint, red-hued point of light. Based upon a measured parallax of 9.2 mas, it is located around 354 light years away from the Sun. The system is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 1.5 km/s.
72 Leonis is a single variable star in the zodiac constellation of Leo, located roughly 1,000 light years away from the Sun. It has the variable star designation FN Leonis; 72 Leonis is the Flamsteed designation. In Chinese astronomy, 72 Leonis is called 虎賁, Pinyin: Hǔbēn, meaning Emperor’s Bodyguard, because this star is marking itself and stands alone in the Emperor’s Bodyguard asterism, Supreme Palace enclosure mansion. It is dedicated to the memory of Julio Cubillas, who died in December 2020, by the White Dwarf Research Corporation.
Mu Coronae Borealis, Latinized from μ Coronae Borealis, is a solitary, ruby-hued star located in the northern constellation of Corona Borealis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.12. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.27 mas, it is located roughly 620 light years from the Sun. This is an evolved red giant star with a stellar classification of M1.5 IIIb. It is currently on the asymptotic giant branch and is a variable star of uncertain type, showing a change in brightness with an amplitude of 0.0147 magnitude and a frequency of 0.02455 cycles per day, or 40.7 days/cycle. On average, it is radiating 932 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,889 K.
b Persei is a spectroscopic triple star in the constellation Perseus. Its apparent magnitude is 4.60, and it is about 320 light years away.
R Normae is a Mira variable star located near Eta Normae in the southern constellation of Norma. This is an intermediate-mass red giant star that is generating part of its energy through hydrogen fusion. Because this fusion is thought to be occurring under conditions of convection, it is generating an excess of lithium. The star ranges from magnitude 6.5 to 12.8 and has a relatively long period of 496 days. Located around 2,900 light-years distant, it shines with a luminosity 7764 times that of the Sun and has a surface temperature of 3161 K.
R Octantis, also known as HD 40857, is a solitary, red hued variable star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude that varies in-between 6.4 and 13.2 within 405 days. At is maximum, it is barely visible to the naked eye. The object is located relatively far at a distance of about 1,900 light years based on parallax measurements from Gaia DR3, but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 46 km/s.
