What language does "Hatsya" come from
What's the origin of the name "Hatsya" —Preceding unsigned comment added by GSnw5141 (talk • contribs) 20:41, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * The name appears as "Hatysa" in Becvar's Skalnate Pleso Atlas of the Heavens, and has since appeared in several places as "Hatysa" or "Hatsya". Paul Kunitzsch, one of the experts on star names, could not find Becvar's source.  See Kunitzsch's Dictionary of Modern Star Names. -- Elphion (talk) 19:22, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Binary vs quadruple
How can it be a double star but a quadruple system? Pleas excuse any ignorance of basics this question displays..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.221.147 (talk) 13:54, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


 * It's a spectroscopic binary accompanied by two other stars. -- Elphion (talk) 19:22, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
