	Algieba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Algieba is a binary star system in the Leo constellation.
		The name Algieba orginiates from the Arabic Al-Jabhah, meaning "The forehead." Despite this meaning, the start actually appears of the mane of the line in Leo.
		Algieba (gamma), along with Adhafera (zeta), Regulus (Alpha) and eta (Al Jabbah) are the 8th manzil, Al Jabhah, the "Forehead," promoting love, benevolence, and help against enemies.

	LEO
		The constellation of Leo heralds the arrival of the spring galaxy season when it rises early in the evening in the beginning of the year in January.
		It is a bluish-white star of magnitude 1.35, and has an 8th magnitude companion that is visible in binoculars.
		Algieba shines at magnitude 2.6, and a telescope reveals it to be a spectacular double star with orange-red 2.6 magnitude primary and a yellow 3.8 magnitude companion.

		Even when the colors are fairly similar, the eye enhances them, rendering close pairs like Algieba (Leo's Gamma star) still quite lovely, some observers seeing them as orange and yellow, others yellow and greenish.
		To the eye, Algieba shines at mid-second magnitude, but even a modest telescope under good atmospheric conditions will allow you split the pair, one appearing at bright third magnitude, the other at bright fourth, separated by just under five seconds of arc.
		The brighter, the more orange of the two, is a class K giant with a temperature of 4400 Kelvin, the fainter a somewhat warmer (4900 Kelvin) class G giant, making it the yellower one.

		In the same FOV as 26/27 is NGC 3222, but it is dimmer, and I need to keep Algieba out of view as it drowns it out otherwise.

	Managing Separation of Duties Using Continuous Monitoring - ITAudit - The Institute of Internal Auditors (The IIA)
		Algieba Corp., a manufacturing company headquartered in the Midwestern United States, has 26,000 employees in 14 countries, 2002 sales of $3.7 billion, and plans to boost sales 5 percent to 7 percent annually over the next decade as it enters new international markets.
		Had the continuous monitoring system been in place earlier, auditors would have been able to identify these payments when the manual checks were entered into the general ledger system.
		Algieba's proactive stance and a continuous monitoring solution has enabled the company to minimize its business risks by plugging potential cost and revenue "leaks" that saved an estimated $250,000 each year.

		Algieba (often spelled Algeiba) is shown on the map with a different symbol.
		This is to indicate that there are really two stars at that position, although it takes a telescope to see them separately.
		Their closeness together and subtle difference in color (the one star sometimes described as greenish in comparison with its yellower companion) make Algieba one of the most popular double stars to view with a small telescope.

		The star indeed does have a name, Gamma Leonis, aka Algieba, or Algeiba.
		(Both spellings are used, in different reference books, and the pronunciation in most references is given with a hard g, even though it comes from the Arabic Al-Jabbar, meaning The Brow [of the Lion].) Algieba is only 86 light years from Earth, so it is right in our neighborhood.
		Some of the dialogue when Starman sees the painting is a little nonsensensical.

	33 Doubles Observing Projects: Fuzzy Splitting
		Algieba has its components separated by 4.4 seconds of arc, and they shine at 2.5 and 3.6 magnitude respectively, so the difference of magnitude is 1.1.
		So, as described by our model, Algieba is a “Tight” and “Open-Tight” double (separation) with a “Medium” and “Rather Big” difference of magnitude.
		The first member of them says it is “something easy” to split, and has a “confidence degree” in his vote of 0.35.
