Talk:List of stars in Crux

Re Languages

I intend to remove the Portuguese names, as they are never (apart from Mimosa, of course) used in English. Any objections? Rothorpe (talk) 17:30, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

• I agree (but what about Chinese names referred to in Allen?) --Metebelis (talk) 01:10, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

What and where are they? Rothorpe (talk) 01:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Alpha and Beta

Alpha Crucis' article says it is the brightest in Crux with brighness of 0.77. So why this list has it second to Beta with only 1.40 brightness? 85.76.73.19 (talk) 08:24, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

This article lists the brightness of the two components - together they shine at 0.77. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:51, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Different point of view, I see. This list has separately Alpha¹/Alpha A and Alpha²/Alpha B, while Alpha Crucis (article which both components links go) considers them one star. 85.76.73.19 (talk) 04:34, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

I think it's so crazy. The list would must consider Alpha Crucis both A and B. When you see the Crux, Acrux is so far the brightest, and you see as one. It doesn't matter if it is double. The list confuses to readers, and it's not Wikipedia style, I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.58.51.66 (talk) 03:25, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Why is Acrux treated differently from others?

Why are the components of Acrux listed separately, while other star systems, even optical doubles, are listed as one star? It is especially confusing when coming from the Crux article, which says that Acrux is the brightest. Nurg (talk) 22:29, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
