Where do I find info on a star

[acpsteve]

I am looking for info on a star for a school report. <br />The star name is G012-043B. Where do I look? <br /><br />

Did you google the name? That's where I'd start. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John. Monsters. Monsters from the Id.</font></em> </font></p><p><font color="#000080">I really, really, really, really miss the "first unread post" function</font><font color="#000080"> </font></p> </div>

It's the Giclas catalogue. <br /><br /> link <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John. Monsters.

wow. thanks!<br />Is the other name "wolf 424"?

 

[adrenalynn]

Yes, that's the alternate name.<br /><br />Here's a good link for you:<br /><br />http://www.solstation.com/stars/wolf424.htm <br /><br />Thanks, btw, Wayne. That's an OBSCURE catalog (at least here in the US). I have catalogs for over a billion and a half stars. Of course, Wolf-424 was covered. But that catalog number? Absolutely no joy...

Plus it is such an interesting double star. Thanks Adrenalynn.<br /><br />I read that link you provided thorughly.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world. It was extremely large with respect to the overall size of Io and crescent shaped. It seemed unbelievable that something that big had not been visible before".</font> <em><strong><font color="#000000">Linda Morabito </font></strong><font color="#800000">on discovering that the Jupiter moon Io was volcanically active.

Adren is very thorough.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys, but it's Wayne gets the credit here. Once I knew what the [bleep!] catalog that was, it was just a "search the usual suspects" from there.<br /><br />That really is an obscure catalog.
