Tau Eridani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tau Eridani (τ Eri / τ Eridani) is a group of fairly widely scattered stars in the constellation Eridanus.

These form an exception to the general rule that stars that share the same Bayer designation are close together; τ¹ is nearly 20° away from τ⁹ (note also Pi Orionis is another example of this).

• τ¹ Eri (aka 1 Eridani)
• τ² Eri (aka 2 Eridani)
• τ³ Eri (aka 11 Eridani)
• τ⁴ Eri (aka 16 Eridani)
• τ⁵ Eri (aka 19 Eridani)
• τ⁶ Eri (aka 27 Eridani)
• τ⁷ Eri (aka 28 Eridani)
• τ⁸ Eri (aka 33 Eridani)
• τ⁹ Eri (aka 36 Eridani)
