Locations of the k and K Eridani stars


The Bayer designations k Eridani and K Eridani are distinct.

The designation k Eridani is sometimes used by the star τ9 Eridani. Johann Bode used the designation for three stars instead, two of them now in Taurus:

The three stars designated K Eridani are all currently in Fornax:

  • K1 Eridani (ψ For)
  • K2 Eridani (HD 18377)
  • K3 Eridani (HD 18546)

All of these designations are currently disused.
