	Christian Mayers Doppelsternverzeichnis
		Gamma Arietis, Gamma Virginis) sind beide Komponenten nahezu gleich hell, so dass eine Entscheidung welche Komponente der Hauptstern und welche der Begleiter ist, schwer zu treffen ist.
		Doppelsterne nennt man diejenigen Sterne, welche sich mit bloßem Augen einzeln, durch minder oder mehr vergrößernde, oft nur durch sehr vollkommene Fernröhre aber, entweder aus zwei gleich großen, oder ungleich großen Sternen, die nur einige Sekunden auseinander zu stehen scheinen, zusammen gesetzt sich darstellen.
		Wie bereits bei Alpha Arietis gibt er den Begleiter mit einer Helligkeit von 9 mag an.

	Aries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ram's head consists of the stars alpha Arietis, lambda Arietis, and beta Arietis: alpha Arietis being of the second magnitude and beta Arietis of the third magnitude.
		The ram's body consists of the stars alpha Arietis, eta Arietis, epsilon Arietis, 41 Arietis, and 35 Arietis: epsilon Arietis and 41 Arietis being of the fourth magnitude.
		The star gamma Arietis, of fourth magnitude, represents the ram's front foot, and the star delta Arietis, also of fourth magnitude, represents the ram's hind foot.

	Aries: Heavenly Properties
		This star is Alpha Arietis, known as Hamal (from the Arabic for "lamb").
		One of its major attractions is the Gamma Arietis, a beautiful double star, which was discovered quite by chance in 1664 when astronomer, Robert Hooke, was following the motion of a comet.
		Gamma Arietis is one of the earliest double stars on record to have been found with the aid of a telescope.

		Arietis is an alpha CV type variable: 4.62-4.66 with a period of 2.6 days.

	Constellation Aries
		Alpha Arietis (Hamal) - Second magnitude Hamal translates into "The head of the sheep", and is the brightest star of the constellation.
		Gamma Arietis is one of the first double stars to be discovered, found in 1664 by the English scientist Robert Hooke while he was searching for a comet.
		Together with the two other "Runaway stars" (AE Aurigae and Mu Columbae), 53 Arietis appears to be moving outward from the region of the Great Orion Nebula.

		The name (derived from Arabic) originally came from the same root as that for the Beta star, Sharatan (meaning "the two"), but was corrupted by mistranslations into its current form.
		Gamma 1, around 2.8 solar masses, radiates 56 or so solar luminosities into space, whereas Gamma-1 (around 2.5 solar masses) releases somewhere between 43 and 52 times the power of the Sun.

		This star, Alpha Arietis, together with Beta and Gamma, identifies the triangular head of the proverbial ram.
		Another triangle of stars, comprised of 35, 39 and 41 Arietis, was once known as the asterism Musca Borealis, the Northern Fly, which hovered over the ram's rump.
		Mesarthim, Gamma Arietis, is a pair of blue-white stars of equal 4.8 magnitude, separated by 8 arcseconds.

		It was short-trailed (about one degree long) and seemed to have began at Gamma Arietis and traveled away from that star seemingly on the line connecting Gamma and Beta Arietis.
		Although he saw one of magnitude -2 and another of magnitude 1, all the other meteors from this region were between magnitudes 3 and 5.
		He estimated the radiant was near Gamma Arietis, indicating a position of RA=28 degrees, DEC=+19 degrees.

		A good starting point is Gamma Arietis (RA 1h 53.5m, Dec +19 18'), one of the finest examples of an equal white binary, with components of mag.
		Not far away, forming a right angle with Gamma and Iota Arietis, is the brightest galaxy in Aries, NGC 772 (1h 59.3m, +19 01).
		Extend a line from NGC 972 to 41 Arietis and beyond to 2h 59.7m, +25 14', and you can locate the irregular galaxy NGC 1156, lying in a field well-sprinkled with stars.

	Gamma Arietis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Gamma Arietis is a difficult double star for small/medium telescopes (80mm) but easier for larger telescopes of 100mm aperture upwards.
		It is best placed for evening viewing in summer from the northern hemisphere but is also visible in the spring and early autumn.
		It will usually require a magnification in excess of 100x to split, a bit more for photography.

		Gamma Arietis was probably one of the earliest discovered double stars.
		Last year, I observed quite a few interesting doubles in Aries myself, but the two white, almost equally bright stars of Gamma Arietis are my favorite.
		With my 8-inch telescope at 166x both the primary and the secondary look like sparkling white diamonds set against a jet-fl sky.

		I estimated that most came from near Gamma Arietis region, but that my estimate may have been off by 5 degrees or more.
		Also, that the brighter meteors seemed to come from near Gamma Aries region, yet most of the other meteors, which were fainter, seemed to come from a diffuse region in the Aries-Triangulid area in general.
		Also, in 1994 Bob Lunsford saw more meteors from the area near Gamma Arietis than Alpha Triangulii.

		At magnitude 3.7, Epsilon is not one of the brightest stars in the night sky because it has only 85% of the mass of our own Sun.

		If we backtrack from where these objects are today....and factor in the speed at which they are moving....then astronomers can calculate that they "left" or were pushed out of the Orion Nebula about five (5) million years ago - just yesterday in the cosmic scheme of things.
		53 Arietis is magnitude 6.0, easily visible in all of our telescopes provided you know WHICH star you are needed to focus in on.
		Not only is 53 Arietis one of only three such known stars to be "expelled" from the Orion nebula and flying through space, but it also is a moderate variable star as well!
