Talk:Pollux (star)

Tightened up the article a bit.
I hope it works for everyone. 68Kustom (talk) 23:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Planet or magnetic field?
Should the information in, which suggests the radial velocity variations attributed to a planetary companion are actually a result of the star's weak magnetic field be included in the article, or should we wait until it is published in a refereed journal? 77.57.43.11 (talk) 19:23, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Latin Translation Correction
In the "in other cultures" section, it says something about "translated into Latin as Posterior Brachii, meaning the end in the paw.[21]" I take Latin, and I know that Brachii would mean 'of the arm," so Posterior Brachii would mean 'the end of the arm.'

Pollux b is disputed?
See this study. 21 Andromedae (talk) 20:37, 25 June 2024 (UTC)


 * There's also another, older study mentioned above. Somehow neither of these ever got added to either this or the Pollux b article - the latter of which doesn't even have inline citations. I'll try to improve the Pollux b article and that can be summarized here. SevenSpheres (talk) 21:50, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
