Beta Gruis (β Gruis, abbreviated Beta Gru, β Gru), formally named Tiaki /tiˈɑːki/,[12] is the second brightest star in the southern constellation of Grus. It was once considered the rear star in the tail of the constellation of the (Southern) Fish, Piscis Austrinus: it, with Alpha, Delta, Theta, Iota, and Lambda Gruis, belonged to Piscis Austrinus in medieval Arabic astronomy.[13]

Nomenclature


β Gruis (Latinised to Beta Gruis) is the star's Bayer designation.

It bore the traditional Tuamotuan name of Tiaki.[14] In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[15] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name Tiaki for this star on 5 September 2017 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[12]

In Chinese, (), meaning Crane, refers to an asterism consisting of Beta Gruis, Alpha Gruis, Epsilon Gruis, Eta Gruis, Delta Tucanae, Zeta Gruis, Iota Gruis, Theta Gruis, Delta² Gruis and Mu¹ Gruis.[16] Consequently, Beta Gruis itself is known as 鶴二 (Hè èr, English: Second Star of the Crane).[17] The Chinese name gave rise to another English name, Ke.[18]


Properties


This is a red giant star[3] on the asymptotic giant branch[4] with an estimated mass of about 2.4 times that of the Sun and a surface temperature of approximately 3,480 K,[10] just over half the surface temperature of the Sun. This low temperature accounts for the dull red color of an M-type star. The total luminosity is about 2,500 times that of the Sun, and it has estimated 180 times the Sun's radius.[8]

Beta Gruis is a semiregular variable (SRb) star that varies in magnitude by about 0.4. It varies between intervals when it displays regular changes with a 37-day periodicity and times when it undergoes slow irregular variability.[3]

Бета Журавля (β Gru / β Gruis) — звезда в созвездии Журавля. Звезда также имеет имя Груид, иногда используется имя Альфаулка (الفولقة), перевод с Арабского الفولقة الذنب الحوت الجنوبي Аль-Фавлках Аль-Данаб Аль-Хут Аль-Янибийй, это означает «Граница хвоста Южного Кита», поскольку Альнаир и Бета Журавля проходят вблизи южного горизонта при наблюдении из средних широт Северного полушария, прямо над ними расположено созвездие Южная Рыба. Расстояние до звезды - около 170 световых лет.
