Notes:

distances for these stars; they may be optical. However, a 1999 measurement by Robert
Argyle (of the Webb Society) included this comment: "Position angle without any
noticeable change, separation has increased in the past and now appears to be getting

share common proper motion, but the parallaxes suggest optical pairing.

BC 1857: 1.8 @ 59. Over 100 measurements. Alvan Clark found C in 1856. The

The primary is an infra-red source.
B, C and D together are only as bright as 1/100 of a sun.
This star is a member of the Wolf 630 group.
Observations:
C8 at 83x. It formed an elongated image at 280x. There is a deep blue star (10m)
about 40" away in PA 230.
Smyth describes this system as 'a delicate double, with A "pale straw colour" and B
"cerulean blue". Hartung said Y, R. Webb said Y and B.
