According to traditional Traditional Chinese star names#Categories of Chinese traditional uranography, Chinese uranography, the modern constellation Piscis Austrinus is located within the northern quadrant of the sky, which is symbolized as the Black Tortoise, Black Tortoise of the North (北方玄武, ''Běi Fāng Xuán Wǔ''). The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 南魚座 (''nán yú zuò''), meaning "southern fish constellation".

Traditional Chinese Star Names
Chinese star names (Chinese language, Chinese: , ''xīng míng'') are named according to ancient Chinese astronomy and Chinese astrology, astrology. The sky is divided into Chinese constellations, star mansions (, ''xīng xiù'', also translated as "lodges") and asterisms (, ''xīng guān''). The ecliptic is divided into four sectors that are associated with the Four Symbols, guardians in Chinese mythology, and further into 28 mansions. Stars around the north celestial pole are grouped into three enclosures (, ''yuán''). The system of 283 asterisms under the Chinese constellations, Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions was established by Chen Zhuo of the Three Kingdoms period, who synthesized ancient constellations and the asterisms created by early astronomers Shi Shen, Gan De and Wuxian (Shang dynasty), Wuxian. Since the Han dynasty, Han and Jin dynasty (266–420), Jin dynasties, stars have been given reference numbers within their asterisms in a system similar to the Bayer ...

Chinese Constellations
Traditional Chinese astronomy has a system of dividing the celestial sphere into asterisms or constellations, known as "officials" ( Chinese ''xīng guān''). The Chinese asterisms are generally smaller than the constellations of Hellenistic tradition. The Song dynasty (13th-century) Suzhou planisphere shows a total of 283 asterisms, comprising a total of 1,565 individual stars. The asterisms are divided into four groups, the Twenty-Eight Mansions (, ''Èrshíbā Xiù'') along the ecliptic, and the Three Enclosures of the northern sky. The southern sky was added as a fifth group in the late Ming dynasty based on European star charts, comprising an additional 23 asterisms. The Three Enclosures (, ''Sān Yuán'') include the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, which is centered on the north celestial pole and includes those stars which could be seen year-round,Needham, J.Astronomy in Ancient and Medieval China.

Chinese Astronomy
Astronomy in China has a long history stretching from the Shang dynasty, being refined over a period of more than 3,000 years. The Ancient China, ancient Chinese people have identified stars from 1300 BCE, as Chinese star names later categorized in the twenty-eight mansions have been found on oracle bones unearthed at Anyang, dating back to the mid-Shang dynasty. The core of the "mansion" (宿 ''xiù'') system also took shape around this period, by the time of King Wu Ding (1250–1192 BCE). Detailed records of astronomical observations began during the Warring States period (fourth century BCE). They flourished during the Han period (202 BCE – 220 CE) and subsequent dynasties with the publication of star catalogues. Chinese astronomy was equatorial, centered on close observation of circumpolar stars, and was based on different principles from those in traditional Western astronomy, where heliacal risings and settings of zodiac constellations formed the basic ecliptic framew ...

Delta Piscis Austrini
Delta Piscis Austrini, Latinized from δ Piscis Austrini, is a yellow-hued star in the southern constellation of Piscis Austrinus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.175. There is a magnitude 9.86 common proper motion companion located at an angular separation of 5.2 arc seconds – the pair most likely form a binary star system. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 18.9796 mas as seen from the Gaia satellite, Delta Piscis Austrini is located 172 ± 2 light-years from the Sun. The primary, component A, is an evolved G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G8 III. At the age of about 3.74 billion years it is a red clump star, which indicates it is generating energy through helium fusion at its core. The star has an estimated 2.1 times the mass of the Sun and 10.3 times the Sun's radius, radiating 58 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,967 K. Delta ...

Fomalhaut
Fomalhaut (, ) is the brightest star in the southern constellation of Piscis Austrinus, the Southern Fish, and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. It has the Bayer designation Alpha Piscis Austrini, which is an alternative form of α Piscis Austrini, and is abbreviated Alpha PsA or α PsA. This is a class A star on the main sequence approximately from the Sun as measured by the Hipparcos astrometry satellite. Since 1943, the spectrum of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified. It is classified as a Vega-like star that emits excess infrared radiation, indicating it is surrounded by a circumstellar disk. Together with the K-type main-sequence star TW Piscis Austrini, and the red dwarf star LP 876-10, Fomalhaut constitute a triple star system, even though the companions are separated by approximately 8 degrees. Fomalhaut was the first stellar system with an extrasolar planet candidate im ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Epsilon Piscis Austrini
Epsilon Piscis Austrini, Latinized from ε Piscis Austrini, is a blue-white hued star in the southern constellation of Piscis Austrinus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.17. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.92 mas as seen from the Gaia satellite, the system is located at a distance of roughly 550 light years. Characteristics This is a B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B8 Ve. It is a Be star that is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 216 km/s, compared to an equatorial critical velocity of 301 km/s. The star has 6.0 times the mass of the Sun, 7.5 times the Sun's radius, and is radiating 661 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,066 K. Epsilon Piscis Austrini is part of a wide binary star system, the companion is likely a low-mass red dwarf with a projected separation of 11,700 astronomical units. It al ...
