	Epsilon Eridani
		Epsilon Eridani has been the target of intense scrutiny by SETI projects, including the first, Project Ozma.
		Moreover, Epsilon Eri provides a window into what conditions may have been like in the neighborhood of the Sun at a time when life was first beginning to emerge on the young Earth.
		The presence of Epsilon Eridani C was disclosed by researchers at the University of Rochester using a new technique that does not use direct light from the star, but rather light radiating from the dust surrounding it.

	Joint Astronomy Centre - Astronomers discover a nearby star system just like our own Solar System
		Epsilon Eridani is marked by the star symbol, although the star itself is not seen at submillimetre wavelengths.
		Epsilon Eridani is clearly visible to the naked eye, in the constellation Eridanus (the River), which stretches from the foot of Orion (near the bright star Rigel) to the 9th brightest star in the sky, the southerly Achernar (barely visible from the USA and Europe).
		Epsilon Eridani is believed to be only 500 million years to 1 billion years old; our Sun is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old, and its inner region is believed to have looked very similar at that age.

		Epsilon Eridani is a main-sequence star in the constellation of Eridanus (the river).
		A planet orbiting Epsilon Eridani at a distance of around 0.53 astronomical units would have temperatures suitable for liquid water.
		Because of its status as the closest, single sun-like star, Epsilon Eridani is frequently chosen by science fiction authors to figure in their output.

	Epsilon Eridani
		Epsilon Eridani is a chromospherically active star, whose spectral line shapes, magnetic field, and photospheric temperature vary much more over time than most main sequence stars (Gray and Baliunas, 1995).
		Cochran of the University of Texas McDonald Observatory announced the discovery of this nearby extra-Solar planet around Epsilon Eridani on August 7, 2000, at the 24th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in Manchester, England (United Kingdom).
		The distance from Epsilon Eridani where an Earth-type rocky planet may have liquid water on its surface may have to be between 0.47 and 0.91 AU (Jones and Sleep, 2003) -- between the orbital distances of Mercury and Earth in the Solar System.

		Epsilon Eridani was a magic name in my childhood, so convinced was I that the nearby star (10.5 light years from Earth) was orbited by planets.
		Epsilon Eridani b is the real deal, an observation confirmed by combining the Hubble data with studies from a variety of telescopes made over the past 25 years.
		Hubble Space Telescope observations of the nearby (3.22 pc), K2 V star epsilon Eridani have been combined with ground-based astrometric and radial velocity data to determine the mass of its known companion.

		Epsilon Eridani is an excellent candidate for extraterrestrial life.
		Epsilon Eridani does not have any stellar companions, which could have disturbed the formation of planets.
		This star was among the first targets for Frank Drake's first run of SETI in 1960, and future generations of telescopes should settle the question of life at Epsilon Eridani very soon, within the next few decades.

		And Epsilon Eridani is joined by Vega, Fomalhaut and Beta Pictoris as the first stars found by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) to have a cool debris disk somewhat analogous to our own Kuiper Belt.
		Epsilon Eridani is, moreover, a young star (less than a billion years old) with a disk featuring interesting clumpy structures suggestive of planetary interactions with the dust.
		These are useful boundaries for future work, and although the data at the time of publication were insufficient to verify the existence of any new planets around Epsilon Eridani, some infrared sources need further study to determine their nature by measuring if they have a common proper motion with Epsilon Eridani.

		'''Epsilon Eridani''' is a main-sequence K-2 class star in the constellation of Eridanus (the river).
		Because of its status as the closest, single Sun-like star, Epsilon Eridani appears frequently in science fiction.
		That Epsilon Eridani could be Vulcan's home star is contradicted by statements of Commander Tucker on Star Trek: Enterprise, where he states that Vulcan is 16 light years from Earth; 40 Eridani is given as the location by the authorized book Star Trek: Star Charts (Pocket Books, 2002).

	The planet of Epsilon Eridani confirmed - Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum
		In 2000 an extrasolar planet was announced orbiting the nearby orange dwarf Epsilon Eridani.
		However, the planet Epsilon Eridani b was less certain than others since the star is young (~800 million years) and therefore magnetically active which makes radial velocity measurements hard.
		Epsilon Eridani has a circumstellar dust disk not much unlike the Kuiper Belt.

	Eridanus League
		The League was started unilaterally by the broadcast of the River of Stars Charter from the moon Epsilon Eridani II-D, although the concept had been proposed and promoted among the colonies by Hoa-van-Huynh and his followers since AT 770 (2739).
		Epsilon was terraformed by some of the earliest interstellar colonisation ventures (Mars Interstellar, Kelkemesh Ventures and Eridani Vision Inc.) in the Nanotech Window, after a period of initial disagreements forming the Eridanus League to oversee the terraforming and administration.
		To their credit, the military forces organized by the Epsilon Eridani council to defend other worlds never used their armaments to force defecting worlds to return to the fold, and even in the crisis years there were surprisingly few attempts by the SCS commanders to alter the local balance of power during inter-colony disputes.

		One of the ways astronomers are trying to find out about possible planets is analysing irregularities of a star's proper motion, which are expected to be caused by some kind of invisible "companion", which might turn out to be another smaller darker sun - or a planet.
		The name "Epsilon Eridani" says it's the fifth (epsilon is the 5th letter of the greek alphabet) brightest star in the constellation of "River Eridanus".
		Epsilon's distance from the Solar System is 10.8 lightyears (unlike the statements in some B5-FAQ-files).
