41 Arietis (abbreviated 41 Ari) is a triple star system in the northern constellation of Aries. With an apparent visual magnitude of 3.63,[2] this system is readily visible to the naked eye. It has an annual parallax shift of 19.69 mas,[1] which indicates it is at a distance of Script error: No such module "convert". from the Sun.

The system consists of a binary pair,[9] designated 41 Arietis A, together with a third companion star, 41 Arietis D. (41 Arietis B and C form optical pairs with A, but are not physically related.[10]) The components of A are themselves designated 41 Arietis Aa (formally named Bharani Template:IPAc-en)[11] and Ab.

Nomenclature

41 Arietis is the system's Flamsteed designation. It does not possess a Greek-letter Bayer designation, since this system was once part of the now-obsolete constellation Musca Borealis, but is sometimes designated c Arietis. The designations of the two constituents as 41 Arietis A and D, and those of A's components - 41 Arietis Aa and Ab - derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).[12]

Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille called the star Līliī Austrīnā (Template:IPAc-en) 'southern of Lilium' (in Latin) in 1757,[13][14] as a star of the now-defunct constellation of Lilium (the Lily). To him 39 Arietis was Līliī Boreā, 'northern of Lilium'.

In Hindu astronomy, Bharani (भरणी bharaṇī, Script error: No such module "IPA".) is the second nakshatra, or lunar mansion corresponding to 35, 39 and 41 Arietis. In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[15] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN decided to attribute proper names to individual stars rather than entire multiple systems.[16] It approved the name Bharani for the component 41 Arietis Aa on 30 June 2017 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[11]

In Chinese, Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".), meaning Stomach (asterism), refers to an asterism consisting of 41, 35 and 39 Arietis.[17] Consequently, the Chinese name for 41 Arietis itself is Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Template:Langx.)[18]

In Avestan, the star was known as Upa-paoiri, and it was associated with one of the yazatas.[19]

Properties

The primary component is a B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B8 Vn.[3] The suffix 'n' indicates 'nebulous' absorption lines in the star's spectrum caused by the Doppler effect of rapid rotation. It has a projected rotational velocity of 175 km/s.[7] This is creating an equatorial bulge that is 12% larger than the star's polar radius.[20] It is a candidate member of the AB Doradus moving group[6] and has an orbiting companion at an angular separation of 0.3 arcseconds.[9]
