井宿三(雙子座γ)是雙子座第三亮的恆星,英文的固有名稱是AlhenaAlmeisan。它的視星等為1.9等[2],即使在城市區域也很容易就能以裸眼看見。依據依巴谷衛星測量的視差,它與地球的距離大約是109光年(33秒差距[1]

性質

井宿三是一顆已經耗盡核心供應的氫,演化進入次巨星階段的恆星。它的光譜與恆星分類的A0 IV相匹配[3]。相較於太陽,質量是2.8倍[6],半徑是3.3倍[7],輻射的光度大約是太陽的123倍[7],從它外層的有效溫度大約是9,260K[8],使它的色調成為一顆典型的白色星[11]

這是一顆分光聯星,系統是有着高離心率開普勒軌道,週期12.6年(4,614.51天)[5]

語源

井宿三的英文名字Alhena出自阿拉伯的الهنعه Al Han'ah,意思為"頭部"(駱駝的頸部);另一個備用的名字Almeisan 是阿拉伯語的المیسان Al Maisan,意思是閃耀的Al Hanʽah的名稱與下列的恆星相關聯,包括井宿一(雙子座μ,Tejat Posterior)、井宿二(雙子座ν)、(雙子座η,Tejat Prior)和井宿四(雙子座ξ,Alzirr)。它們也與Al Nuḥātai相關聯,是有着雙峰的駱駝[12]

Calendarium of Al Achsasi Al Mouakket這本恆星目錄中,這顆恆星的名稱是, Nir al Henat,是從拉丁文 Prima του al Henat翻過去的,意思是明亮的Al Henat[13]

中文井宿 (Jǐng Su)是中國的星官,類似於西方的星座,屬於這個星官的有雙子座γ、μ(井宿一)、ν(井宿二)、ξ(井宿四)、ε(井宿五)、36(井宿六)、ζ(井宿七)、λ(井宿八[14]。雙子座γ是井宿三(Jǐng Su sān,意思就是井宿的第三顆星[15]

在文化

Alhena是一艘荷蘭船隻的名稱,這艘船在1927年10月從意大利郵輪馬法爾達公主號救出了許多人[16]。此外,美國的武裝貨船英語Amphibious cargo shipUSS Alhena (AKA-9)也以這顆恆星的名字命名。
