Star system description: SRT 2
A double or multiple star system in Eridanus.
Pair AB (61.8″; magnitudes 5.82 and 7.68) is the binocular candidate in the catalog model. Actual resolution depends on magnification and stability.
The diagram uses the latest WDS measurements; north is up and east is right. Measurements may be from different years. Unconnected groups are arranged separately; close pairs may merge, and pairs without reliable geometry are omitted.
