It has the Bayer designation designated α Leonis, which is Latinized to Alpha Leonis, and abbreviated Alpha Leo or α Leo. The system lies approximately 79 light years from the Solar System.
The Story Behind Regulus
The traditional name Rēgulus is Latin for 'prince' or 'little king'. Regulus A is the dominant star, with a binary companion 177" distant that is thought to be physically related. The extreme distance makes it uncertain to conclude whether it is gravitationally bound to Regulus.
Regulus A was long thought to be fairly young, only 50–100 million years old, calculated by comparing its temperature, luminosity, and mass. The WGSN's first bulletin of July 2016 included a table of the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN; which included Regulus for this star. Regulus and five slightly dimmer stars (Zeta Leonis, Mu Leonis, Gamma Leonis, Epsilon Leonis, and Eta Leonis) have collectively been called 'the Sickle', which is an asterism that marks the head of Leo.
How Regulus Plays
This occurs in spates every 9.3 years, due to lunar precession. In Indian astronomy, Regulus is the main star of the nakshatra Maghā ("the bountiful"). The International Occultation Timing Association recorded no observations at all.
Regulus A is the dominant star, with a binary companion 177" distant that is thought to be physically related. Rēgulus is Latin for 'prince' or 'little king'; its Greek equivalent is Basiliskos or, in Latinised form, Basiliscus. It is emitting polarized light because of this.
Why Players Still Load It Up
The WGSN's first bulletin of July 2016 included a table of the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN; which included Regulus for this star. In other words, Kepler's third law, which holds exactly only for two point-like masses, would no longer be valid for the Regulus system. The light output is dominated by Regulus A.
Regulus is the brightest object in the constellation Leo and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. Differential bending of light was measured to be consistent with general relativity. Regulus BC, also known as HD 87884, is separated from Regulus A by and is itself a close pair.
