  hamal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Hamal, also known as Alpha Arietis or 13 Arietis, is the brightest star in the constellation Aries.
Hamal's orientation with relation to the Earth's orbit around the sun gives it a certain importance not apparent from its modest brightness.
While the equinox has moved to Pisces since then due to precession, Hamal has remained in mind as the brightest star at what was apparently an important place when people first studied the night sky.

 Hamal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Hamal is characterized mostly by being so very normal, at least as far as a dying giant about twice the solar mass can be.
This precise measurement allowed the detection of Hamal's "limb darkening." As a gaseous sphere, the Sun is slightly darker at the edge (its "limb") than at the center, the result of our not looking as deeply into the solar gases.
Hamal is one of the select few single stars for which limb darkening has been seen, showing that we are not far from observing features on the surfaces of at least some of our stellar neighbors.

 Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology
There being so close a relation between the progenitors of these great hero-families of Teutonic mythology, it is highly improbable that the Amalians did not also act an important part in the first great world war, since all the Teutonic tribes, and consequently surely their first families of mythic origin, took part in it.
In the ancient records of the North, we discover a trace which indicates that the Amalians actually did fight on that side where we should expect to find them, that is, on Hadding's, and that Hamal himself was the field-commander of his foster-brother.
We also learn in our Norse records that fylkja Hamalt, "to draw up in line of battle as Hamal did," means the same as svínfylkja, that is, to arrange the battalions in the form of a wedge.
