I've changed the real-world name of the star in this article. The star being referred to is actually 44 Boötis, which is frequently confused for Iota Boötis, -- unsigned
- All such nonsense edits are being removed. Page 44 of Star Trek Star Charts clearly identifies Denobula Triaxa as Iota Bootis, -- Captain MKB 22:52, August 12, 2014 (UTC)
http://www.solstation.com/stars2/44bootis.htm This is the actual star Mandel was referring too as the location of Denobula Triaxa. Geoffrey Mandel was wrong when he mislabeled it as Iota Boötis. The real Iota Boötis is 196 ly away. Graywand2 (talk) 08:21, August 13, 2014 (UTC)
- Well if he was really mistaken, which you haven't proven in any way, it still remains that this wiki reflects the source material. what ended up in the published work is what will remain here. -- Captain MKB 11:36, August 13, 2014 (UTC)
- For further evidence, the physical coordinates of the star as shown in the chart correspond to 44 Bootis (also known as i Bootis, the cause of the frequent confusion), not Iota Bootis; Iota Bootis is rimward of Sol, not coreward, and it's about 10 light years further antispinward than the star shown in the physical chart. Star Charts indicates Denobula Triaxa as a trinary system with three stars of spectral class G; Iota Bootis is a binary system where Iota Bootis A is spectral class A and Iota Bootis B is spectral class K, while i Bootis is a trinary system where i Bootis A is spectral class F9 (nearly G), i Bootes B is spectral class G, and i Bootes C is spectral class G. Star Charts indicates that Denobula Triaxa's primary is magnitude +5; i Bootis A is magnitude +5.43, while Iota Bootis A is magnitude +2.43, around 16 times brighter. --Idran (talk) 01:49, December 16, 2014 (UTC)
