About 4.7 million years ago, it was the brightest star in the sky, with an apparent magnitude of −3.99.[2] Based upon parallax measurements obtained during the Hipparcos mission, it is about 430 light-years distant from the Sun.[6]

The two components are themselves designated ε Canis Majoris A (also officially named Adhara[3]) and B.

Nomenclature

ε Canis Majoris (Latinised to Epsilon Canis Majoris) is the binary system's Bayer designation. The designations of the two components as ε Canis Majoris A and B derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).[4]

ε Canis Majoris bore the traditional name Adhara (sometimes spelled Adara, Adard, Udara or Udra), derived from the Arabic word عذارى ‘aðāra’, "virgins".[5] In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[6] to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN decided to attribute proper names to individual stars rather than entire star systems.[7] It approved the name Adhara for the star ε Canis Majoris A on 21 August 2016 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[3]

In the 17th-century catalogue of stars in the Calendarium of Al Achsasi al Mouakket, this star was designated Aoul al Adzari (أول العذاري awwal al-adhara), which was translated into Latin as Prima Virginum, meaning First of the Virgins.[8] Along with δ Canis Majoris (Wezen), η Canis Majoris (Aludra) and ο² Canis Majoris (Thanih al Adzari), these stars were Al ʽAdhārā (العذاري), 'the Virgins'.[5][9]

In Chinese, {{lang|zh|弧矢}} ({{lang|zh-Latn|Hú Shǐ}}), meaning Bow and Arrow,[10] refers to an asterism consisting of ε Canis Majoris, δ Canis Majoris, η Canis Majoris, κ Canis Majoris, ο Puppis, π Puppis, χ Puppis, c Puppis and k Puppis. Consequently, ε Canis Majoris itself is known as {{lang|zh|弧矢七}} ({{lang|zh-Latn|Hú Shǐ qī}}, {{lang-en|the Seventh Star of Bow and Arrow}}).[11]

Namesake

USS Adhara (AK-71) was a U.S. Navy Crater-class cargo ship named after the star.

Physical properties

ε Canis Majoris is a binary star.[5][33] The primary, ε Canis Majoris A, has an apparent magnitude of +1.5 and belongs to the spectral classification B2. Its color is blue or blueish-white, due to the surface temperature of 22,200K. It emits a total radiation equal to 38,700 times that of the Sun. This star is the brightest-known extreme ultraviolet source in the night sky.[12]

It is the strongest source of photons capable of ionizing hydrogen atoms in interstellar gas near the Sun, and is very important in determining the ionization state of the Local Interstellar Cloud.[13]

The +7.5-magnitude (the absolute magnitude amounts to +1.9) companion star, ε Canis Majoris B, is 7.5" away with a position angle of 161° of the main star. Despite the relatively large angular distance the components can only be resolved in large telescopes, since the primary is approximately 250 times brighter than its companion.

A few million years ago, ε Canis Majoris was much closer to the Sun than it is at present, causing it to be a much brighter star in the night sky. About 4.7 million years ago, Adhara was 34 light-years from the Sun, and was the brightest star in the sky with a magnitude of –3.99. No other star has attained this brightness since, nor will any other star attain this brightness for at least five million years.[2]

In culture

ε Canis Majoris appears on the national flag of Brazil, symbolising the state of Tocantins.[14]

10. ^弧矢 (Hú Shǐ) is westernized into Koo She. R.H. Allen opined that Koo She refers to the asterism including Delta Velorum and Omega Velorum. AEEA opinion is, Delta Velorum is member of {{lang|zh|天社}} ({{lang|zh-Latn|Tiān Shè}}), meaning Celestial Earth God's Temple asterism and Omega Velorum is not a member of any asterisms. 天社 (Tiān Shè) is westernized into Tseen She and R.
