E. Stechert New York [Mirach was described in the Alfonsine Tables of 1521 as super mirat, from which has been derived its present title, as well as the occasional forms Mirac, Merach, Mirar, Mirath, Mirax, etc.; mirat probably coming from the 1515 Almagest's super mizar, the Arabic mi'zar, a girdle or waist-cloth. Scaliger, the great critical scholar of the 15th century, adopted this Mizar as a title, and Riccioli followed him in its use, thus confounding the star with ζ Ursae Majoris.] Synonyms mul β beta mul Andromedae primary designation, β mul And abbreviated form, en Beta Andromedae Latinized form Holonyms en Andromeda References 1 June 2018 Naming Stars List of IAU-approved Star Names International Astronomical Union https://www.iau.org/public/themes/naming_stars/ https://web.archive.org/web/20250310063743/https://www.iau.org/public/themes/naming_stars/ 10 March 2025.
