Zeta Trianguli Australis is a spectroscopic binary in the constellation Triangulum Australe. It is approximately 39.5 light years from Earth.
Omicron Aquilae is the Bayer designation for a double star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. The brighter component has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.11, which means it is faintly visible to the naked eye in dark suburban skies. The annual parallax shift of this star is 52.11 mas, which is equivalent to a physical distance of 62.6 light-years from Earth.
Theta Boötis, Latinized from θ Boötis, is a star in the northern constellation of Boötes the herdsman, forming a corner of the upraised left hand of this asterism. It has the traditional name Asellus Primus and the Flamsteed designation 23 Boötis. Faintly visible to the naked eye, this star has a yellow-white hue with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.05. It is located at a distance of 47 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −10.6 km/s.
44 Boötis or i Boötis is a triple star system in the constellation Boötes. It is approximately 41.6 light years from Earth.
Tau Centauri, Latinized from τ Centauri, is a solitary star in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +3.86. The distance to this star, based upon an annual parallax shift of 24.85 mas, is 131 light years. There is a 98% chance that it is a co-moving companion of Gamma Centauri; the two stars have an estimated separation of 1.7 ly (0.53 pc).
HD 187923 is a suspected variable star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. It is a dim star that is just visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.148. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 37.04 mas, it is located 88 light years away. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −20.7 km/s. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.480″ per year.
HD 24496 is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Taurus. The combined apparent visual magnitude of the pair is 6.81, which is too faint to be readily visible to the normal human eye. The system is located at a distance of 66.8 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +19 km/s. It is traversing the celestial sphere with a proper motion of 0.276″ per year.
Tau6 Eridani, Latinized from τ6 Eridani, is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Eridanus, located near the constellation border with Fornax. It has a yellow-white hue with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.22, which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon parallax measurements, the distance to this star is around 57.5 light years. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +8 km/s.
Tau1 Eridani, Latinized from τ1 Eridani, is a binary star system in the constellation Eridanus. It has an apparent magnitude of 4.46, making it visible to the naked eye in suitably dark conditions. This a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 958 days. It is located about 46 light years from the Earth. At present, the system is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +26 km/s. About 305,000 years ago, it made perihelion passage at an estimated distance of 30.5 ly (9.35 pc).
Nu1 Lupi (ν1 Lup) is a solitary star in the southern constellation of Lupus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.01. It is a high proper motion star with an annual parallax shift of 27.89 mas as seen from Earth, yielding a distance estimate of 117 light years from the Sun.
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.
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.
HD 126053 is the Henry Draper Catalogue designation for a star in the equatorial constellation of Virgo. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.25, which means it is faintly visible to the naked eye. According to the Bortle scale, it requires dark suburban or rural skies to view. Parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft provide an estimated distance of 57 light years to this star. It is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −19.2 km/s.
Lambda Crateris, Latinized from λ Crateris, is the Bayer designation for a suspected binary star system in the southern constellation of Crater. With an annual parallax shift of 23.32 milliarcsecond as observed from Earth, it is located around 140 light years from the Sun. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.08.
HD 119124 is a wide binary star system in the circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.3, it lies below the normal brightness limit of stars that are visible with the naked eye under most viewing conditions. An annual parallax shift of 39.24 mas for the A component provides a distance estimate of 83 light years. The pair are candidate members of the Castor Moving Group, which implies a relatively youthful age of around 200 million years. HD 119124 is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −12 km/s.
