NOTE: Identifiers for stars in this database conform to SIMBAD naming conventions. Thus, Bayer letters are denoted by a three letter designation of the greek symbol followed by a similar three letter designation of the constellation (usually capitalized). For multiple component systems, an identifier may contain a numerical superscript to the Bayer letter. In this case, the superscript is denoted by a two digit numeral immediately following the greek letter designation (no space).
