Phi Scorpii

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bayer designation φ Sco (Phi Scorpii) has been associated with two stars in the constellation of Libra:

No star is found at the position marked φ Scorpii in Johann Bayer's Uranometria.[1] The closest stars to that position are 48 and 49 Librae; 48 Librae is clearly shown but not given a designation while no star is shown at the position of 49 Librae. In his Uranographia Bode assigned the designation φ Scorpii to the star now known as 49 Librae.[2] The designation is no longer in use.[3]
