Beta Crateris, Latinized from β Crateris, is a binary star [3] system in the southern constellation of Crater. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.46. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.59  mas as seen from Earth, it is located around 340  light years from the Sun.

This is an astrometric binary [13] star system with an orbital period of 6.0 years and a projected separation of 8.3  AU. The orbit has an estimated semimajor axis of 9.3 AU. [3] The primary, component A, is listed as an A-type giant star with a stellar classification of A2 III. [3] [13] [10] However, Houk and Smith-Moore (1988) give a main sequence classification of A1 V, [14] while Abt and Morrell (1995) list it as a subgiant star with a class of A2 IV. [15] The spectrum shows enhanced barium, possibly as a result of a previous mass transfer event. [8]

The companion, component B, is a white dwarf [10] of class DA with an effective temperature of 36,885 K that has been cooling down for around four million years. [11] It has an unusually low mass, 43% that of the Sun, suggesting that the white dwarf progenitor may have transferred matter to its companion. Alternative scenarios require either the evolution of a triple star system, or a binary system with highly eccentric orbit resulting in grazing interactions. [3] The dwarf is a source of X-ray emission. [16]

Name

This star was one of the set assigned by the 16th century astronomer Al Tizini [17] to Al Sharāsīf (ألشراسيف), the Ribs (of Hydra), which included the stars from β Crateris westward through κ Hydrae. [18] [19]

According to the catalogue of stars in the Technical Memorandum 33-507 - A Reduced Star Catalog Containing 537 Named Stars, Al Sharāsīf were the title for two stars : β Crateris as Al Sharasīf II and κ Hydrae as Al Sharasīf I. [20]

In Chinese, 翼宿 (Yì Sù), meaning Wings (asterism), refers to an asterism consisting of β Crateris, α Crateris, γ Crateris, ζ Crateris, λ Crateris, ν Hydrae, η Crateris, δ Crateris, ι Crateris, κ Crateris, ε Crateris, HD 95808, HD 93833, θ Crateris, HD 102574, HD 100219, HD 99922, HD 100307, HD 96819, χ1 Hydrae, HD 102620 and HD 103462. [21] Consequently, β Crateris itself is known as 翼宿十六 (Yì Sù shíliù, English: the Sixteenth Star of Wings.) [22] [23]
