Variable Star Naming
Individual variable stars within each constellation are
named by letters and numbers that indicate their
order of discovery. The first variable found within any
constellation has the letter R assigned to it (example:
R Coronae Borealis). Subsequently discovered
variables take the letters S, T ... to Z; then RR, RS,
RT ... SS, ST, and so on through ZZ.
After ZZ, variable stars are named starting from the
beginning of the alphabet with AA, AB, AC ... through
AZ, then BB, BC through BZ, and so on through QZ.
The preceding will take care of 344 stars in each of
the constellations. If there are still more variables,
they receive numbers from 335 on, preceded by the
letter "V" and followed by the constellation. An
example would be V 335 Cygni, being the 335th
variable star discovered in the constellation Cygnus.
