See Bright Star Catalogue for explanatory notes, or Kostjuk cross reference tables for further references. ω¹ is applied to 43 or 45 Cyg. ω² is applied to 45 or 46 Cyg. ω³ is applied to 46 Cyg if it is used at all. Preferred usage seems to be ω¹ = 45 Cyg and ω² = 46 Cyg, ω³ not used at all. Lithopsian (talk) 18:09, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
