<span class="mw-page-title-main">50 Persei</span> Star in the constellation Perseus

50 Persei is a star in the constellation Perseus. Its apparent magnitude is 5.52, which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Located around 21.00 parsecs (68.5 ly) distant, it is a White main-sequence star of spectral type F7V, a star that is currently fusing its core hydrogen. In 1998 the star was named a candidate Gamma Doradus variable with a period of 3.05 days, which would means it displays variations in luminosity due to non-radial pulsations in the photosphere. Subsequently, it was classified as a RS Canum Venaticorum and BY Draconis variable by an automated program.

Gliese 251, also known as HIP 33226 or HD 265866, is a star located about 18 light years away from the Solar System. Located in the constellation of Gemini, it is the nearest star in this constellation. It is located near the boundary with Auriga, 49 arcminutes away from the bright star Theta Geminorum; due to its apparent magnitude of +9.89 it cannot be observed with the naked eye. The closest star to Gliese 251 is QY Aurigae, which is located 3.5 light years away.

ω Leonis, is a star system located in the zodiac constellation of Leo. It is visible to the naked eye in the absence of light pollution, with an apparent visual magnitude of about 5.4. The distance to this star, as determined using parallax measurements, is around 108 light years from the Sun. Because of its location close to the ecliptic, it is subject to being obscured by the Moon, and potentially by planets.
