Apparent magnitude
Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Apparent magnitude
Canis Major
Canis Major is a constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Canis Major
Chinese astronomy
Astronomy in China has a long history stretching from the Shang dynasty, being refined over a period of more than 3,000 years.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Chinese astronomy
Chinese constellations
Traditional Chinese astronomy has a system of dividing the celestial sphere into asterisms or constellations, known as "officials" (Chinese xīng guān).
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Chinese constellations
Constellation
A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern or outline, typically representing an animal, mythological subject, or inanimate object.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Constellation
Exoplanet
An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Exoplanet
Gaia catalogues
The Gaia catalogues are star catalogues created using the results obtained by Gaia space telescope.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Gaia catalogues
Giant star
A giant star has a substantially larger radius and luminosity than a main-sequence (or dwarf) star of the same surface temperature.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Giant star
Light-year
A light-year, alternatively spelled light year (ly or lyr), is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and is equal to exactly 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (Scientific notation: 9.4607304725808 × 1012 km), which is approximately 5.88 trillion mi.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Light-year
Minute and second of arc
A minute of arc, arcminute (arcmin), arc minute, or minute arc, denoted by the symbol, is a unit of angular measurement equal to of one degree.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Minute and second of arc
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal in astronomy, astrophysics and related fields.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Nu2 Canis Majoris b
Nu2 Canis Majoris b, (7 CMa b) is a water cloud jovian extrasolar planet orbiting the star Nu2 Canis Majoris, approximately 64.71 light years away in the constellation of Canis Major. Nu2 Canis Majoris and Nu2 Canis Majoris b are Canis Major.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Nu2 Canis Majoris b
Omicron1 Canis Majoris
Omicron1 Canis Majoris (ο1 CMa, ο1 Canis Majoris) is a red supergiant star in the constellation Canis Major. Nu2 Canis Majoris and Omicron1 Canis Majoris are bright Star Catalogue objects, Canis Major, Henry Draper Catalogue objects and Hipparcos objects.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Omicron1 Canis Majoris
Orbital eccentricity
In astrodynamics, the orbital eccentricity of an astronomical object is a dimensionless parameter that determines the amount by which its orbit around another body deviates from a perfect circle.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Orbital eccentricity
Orbital period
The orbital period (also revolution period) is the amount of time a given astronomical object takes to complete one orbit around another object.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Orbital period
Orbital resonance
In celestial mechanics, orbital resonance occurs when orbiting bodies exert regular, periodic gravitational influence on each other, usually because their orbital periods are related by a ratio of small integers.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Orbital resonance
Pi Canis Majoris
Pi Canis Majoris (π Canis Majoris; Latin for 'Greater Dog') is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Canis Major. Nu2 Canis Majoris and Pi Canis Majoris are bright Star Catalogue objects, Canis Major, Henry Draper Catalogue objects and Hipparcos objects.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Pi Canis Majoris
Pinyin
Hanyu Pinyin, or simply pinyin, is the most common romanization system for Standard Chinese.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Pinyin
Radial velocity
The radial velocity or line-of-sight velocity of a target with respect to an observer is the rate of change of the vector displacement between the two points.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Radial velocity
Sirius
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Nu2 Canis Majoris and Sirius are bright Star Catalogue objects, Canis Major, Gliese and GJ objects, Henry Draper Catalogue objects and Hipparcos objects.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Sirius
Star
A star is a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Star
Stellar parallax
Stellar parallax is the apparent shift of position (parallax) of any nearby star (or other object) against the background of distant stars.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Stellar parallax
Sun
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.
Well (Chinese constellation)
The Well mansion (井宿, pinyin: Jǐng Xiù; Japanese: chichiri-boshi) is one of the Twenty-eight mansions of the Chinese constellations.
See Nu2 Canis Majoris and Well (Chinese constellation)
