Two GJ designations[edit]
Is it currently possible for the template to display two different GJ designations? If not, can it be modified? Lithopsian (talk) 18:37, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Lithopsian: I added a GJ2 entry. Will that work or should it be called something else? Praemonitus (talk) 17:11, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- I can't remember why I asked now :( I'll see if anything in my contribution history around that date jogs my memory. Lithopsian (talk) 16:55, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- It looks like I was prompted by HD 202628. At a guess there will be others. What I've learned is that GJ numbers above 9000 are by Woolley (1970), but are only given for stars not in the original 1957 GJ catalogue which uses numbers below 1000. However, there was a second GJ catalogue which assigned numbers with a decimal point and sequence number (eg. 875.2 for HD 202628) and also a third catalogue which used numbers above 1000. Such stars have both the lower number by Gliese+Jahreiss and the higher number by Woolley. GJ2 seems like a reasonable name for this. Lithopsian (talk) 17:15, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- I've also run into stars with more than one GJ identifier. Praemonitus (talk) 19:08, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

- I've added an F2 as well, there are a number of stars with two Flamsteed designations, generally in different constellations. Lithopsian (talk) 18:21, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
AAVSO[edit]
SIMBAD variable star entries typically include an AAVSO designation, and this has been added to some articles. Should this be added to the template? Praemonitus (talk) 17:12, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
