ω Cyg stars

[edit]

See Bright Star Catalogue for explanatory notes, or Kostjuk cross reference tables for further references. ω1 is applied to 43 or 45 Cyg. ω2 is applied to 45 or 46 Cyg. ω3 is applied to 46 Cyg if it is used at all. Preferred usage seems to be ω1 = 45 Cyg and ω2 = 46 Cyg, ω3 not used at all. Lithopsian (talk) 18:09, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
