	Bayer designation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These designations, which were introduced by Johann Bayer in his star atlas Uranometria (named after Urania) in 1603, consist of a Greek letter followed by the genitive (in Latin) of the name of the constellation in which the star lies.
		Although most common Bayer letters are Greek, it should also be mentioned that the system was extended, first by using lowercase Latin letters, and then by using uppercase Latin letters.
		Note that uppercase Latin Bayer designations never went beyond Q, and names such as R Leporis and W Ursae Majoris are variable star designations, not Bayer designations.

	Bayer designation
		The naming system for the brighter stars introduced by Johann Bayer in his star atlas Uranometria (1603), consisting of a Greek letter followed by the genitive of the name of the constellation in which the star lies.
		In practice, there are many cases where the designations are out of order, and there are even cases where a star is named after a different constellation from the one in which it actually lies (according to the modern constellation boundaries).
		Uppercase Latin Bayer designations never went beyond Q, and names such as W Virginis are variable star designations.

	Flamsteed designation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flamsteed designations for stars are similar to Bayer designations, except that they use numbers instead of Greek letters.
		The designations gained popularity throughout the eighteenth century, and are now commonly used when no Bayer designation exists; however, where a Bayer designation does exist for a star it is used almost exclusively and the Flamsteed designation is almost never used.
		There are examples of stars bearing Flamsteed designations for constellations in which they do not lie, just as there are for Bayer designations, because of the compromises that had to be made when the modern constellation boundaries were drawn up.

	Variable star designation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Variable stars are named using a variation on the Bayer designation format of an identifying label (as described below) combined with the Latin genitive of the name of the constellation in which the star lies.
		Sample designations are R Coronae Borealis, YZ Ceti, and V603 Aquilae.
		In the early 19th century few variable stars were known, so it seemed reasonable to use the letters of the Roman alphabet, starting from the letter R so as to avoid confusion with letter spectral types or the (now rarely used) Latin-letter Bayer designations.

	Bayer-Flamsteed Designations
		The first number, if present, is the Flamsteed designation for a given star, which numbers the brighter, visible stars in a constellation in a sequence from west to east by right ascension.
		The three-letter code, which, if given, preceeds the code for a star's constellation, is an abbreviation of the name of a Greek letter -- the Bayer designation for a star.
		Bayer ranked the stars (not always precisely) by brightness, with the alpha star typically being the brightest in a given constellation, beta the second brightest, and so on, down through the Greek alphabet.

		Bayer's first major product was acetylsalicylic acid, a modification of salicylic acid or salicin, a folk remedy found in the bark of the willow.
		By 1899, Bayer's trademark Aspirin was registered worldwide for Bayer's brand of acetylsalicylic acid, but through the widespread use to describe all brands of the compound, and Bayer's failure to protect its trademark, the word "aspirin" lost its trademark status in the United States.

		With a Fast Track designation, there may be more frequent interactions with the FDA and there may be the possibility of a priority review, which could decrease the typical review period.

	Star catalogue
		Those of Bayer's Uranometria are for bright stars, and these are given a Greek letter followed by the genitive case of the constellation in which they are located; examples are Alpha Centauri or Gamma Cygni.
		Following up on Bayer was John Flamsteed introduced another system in Historia coelestis Britannica who kept the genitive-of-the-constellation rule for the back end of his catalog names, but used numbers instead of the Greek alphabet for the front half.
		Astronomers preferentially use the HD designation of a star, as that catalogue also gives spectroscopic information, but as the Durchmusterungs cover more stars they occasionally fall back on the older designations when dealing with one not found in Draper.

		In 1603, Johann Bayer (1572-1625) published one of the most influential star atlases of modern time, the Uranometria.
		Bayer grouped the stars in each constellation by brightness or magnitude, then assigned them a lower case Greek letter from alpha (α) to omega (ω).
		Thus the Bayer designation for the brightest star in the constelllation Centaurus would be alpha Centauri (Centauri being the Latin genitive form of Centaurus).

	The names and catalogues of variable stars
		I hope I will be forgiven for taking the liberty of designating by a letter a star which does not appear in the Bayer catalogue but it seems to me that owing to their originality, variable stars are entitled to claim such a distinction.
		This type of designation was used successively for Ophiuchus, in 1929 also, for the Swan in 1933, the Centaur and the Scorpion in 1936 and the Eagle in 1937.
		While waiting for a definitive designation and in order to allow a rapid and unambiguous identification, a star reported to be variable is generally given a provisional designation.

		The first designation, using the Greek letter alpha, is called the Bayer designation and represents its primary placement (not always its brightness) in the constellation of Canis Major.
		The second designation, with the number 9, is called the Flamsteed designation, after the English astronomer whose star catalogue gave rise to the stellar numbering.
		Many stars have Bayer or Flamsteed designations, although in the larger scheme of things, even those stars are considered amongst the brightest the night sky has to offer.
