Comments
- Designated Tabit by Becvar but Allen gives Thabit as Burritt's name for an unlettered star on his atlas, the Upsilon of Heis (HR 1855). The superscripts for Pi Ori adopted in the Harvard catalogues and taken over in the BS correspond to the Heis atlas and Argelander's identifications of Flamsteed numbers. Very many old catalogues follow the BAC. Heis superscripts 1,2,3,4 are respectively 4,2,1,3 in the BAC.
