	Procyon 2
		Procyon A, or Alpha Canis Minoris A, is the brightest and most centrally located naked-eye star (07:39:18.12+05:13:29.98, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Canis Minor (the Smaller Dog).
		Procyon is also the upper left member of the "Winter Triangle" of first magnitude stars, whose other components are Sirius (Alpha Canis Minoris) at lower left and Betegeuse (Alpha Orionis) at right center (see also wide-field image from Astronomy Picture of the Day).
		Indeed, Procyon A is unusually bright for its spectral type and so may be becoming a subgiant star that is beginning to evolve off the main sequence, as it begins to fuse the increasing amounts of helium "ash" mixed with hydrogen at its core.

	Procyon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Procyon is a vertex of the Winter Triangle.
		Procyon A is a yellowish-white star somewhat larger and 7.5 times brighter than the Sun, of spectral type F. In fact, because it is bright even for its spectral class, it is thought to be a subgiant, meaning it has just finished fusing its hydrogen into helium and begun to expand.
		Procyon B is a faint white dwarf star, with an average separation from Procyon A of about 16 times the Earth's distance from the Sun or roughly the distance between Uranus and the Sun.

	PROCYON (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Procyon, meaning "before dog", is a brilliant star that receives its name from the fact that it precedes the star Sirius as it travels across the Earth's sky.
		Procyon is one of the closest stars to Earth's solar system, being only 11.4 light years away.
		Procyon A is also known as HD 61421, HR 2943, BD+05°1739, GCTP 1805.00A and LHS 233.

	Procyon (Alpha Canis Minoris)
		Procyon is a nearby yellow-white subgiant F star, about to shut down the fusion of hydrogen to helium in its core.
		Its tiny companion, Procyon B, is a white dwarf, first detected visually in 1896 by John Schaeberle with the 36-inch refractor at Lick Observatory, though its existence and an orbital period of 40 years had been deduced in 1861 by Arthur von Auswers based on wobbles he measured in the brighter star.
		Procyon B is about half the size of Earth, has a surface temperature of 8,700 K, and is separated from Procyon A by an average of only 14.9 AU — roughly the distance between Uranus and the Sun.

	FADED EMPIRE: The Procyon Dynasty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Procyon are very careful sith their environment and have an aesthetic value for theie ecology and environment, preferring to build their cities into their landscape than to destroy tracts of land in order to have distinct urban and natural boundaries.
		Procyon also have a tendency to sniff, groom and generally lean on other people, this being the communal behaviour that they show other members of their House and Line.
		Procyon can also be quick to anger and fast to attack, believing that if you attack a foe first then they are less likely to retaliate - attacks are fast, furious and short, usually followed by a swift exit and slow return to investigate.

	Procyon and the Constellation Canis Minor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Procyon is 11.31 light years distant from the Earth, and the nearest in its constellation after that is 112.32 light years distant.
		Procyon is a binary star system; this means that it is made up of two stars. The main star is Procyon A and the other is known as Procyon B. Procyon A is the brightest of the constellation, being the eighth brightest star in the sky.
		Procyon B is massive, it has 60% of the Sun’s mass, but about only 2% of the Suns diameter, and possibly may have a diameter only 30% that of Earth’s.

		When Procyon B became a Red Giant some hundred million years ago, the increase in brightness would have severely stressed the climate on our model planet.

	Simulation of the MOST time series on Procyon
		The aim of this homepage is to present a number of key issues related to the simulations of time-series data on Procyon.
		The simulations are related to the published null result on Procyon obtained by the Canadian MOST satellite and published by Matthews et al.
		It is based on such a simulation that we conclude that MOST has not detected the granulation signal in Procyon, but that non-stellar noise is making a significant noise contribution that does not allow detection of p modes nor granulation power.

	Universe Today - New Observations of Procyon Defy Expectations
		Its first prime target was Procyon, the eighth brightest star in the night sky, similar to the Sun but more massive and further along in life.
		Astronomers had concluded that Procyon was the best candidate for the new technique of “asteroseismology” — using surface vibrations to probe the inside of a star, similar to how geophysicists use earthquake vibrations to probe the Earth's core.
		The MOST team was surprised to find that Procyon was not vibrating, and soon showed that a more careful treatment of stellar models indicated that it should indeed be stable.
