Typos happen... A couple of things to try when this kind of inconsistency shows up: If the paper gives a position for the suspicious-looking ID, search in SIMBAD on the position rather than the name. Try also searching using a few variations on the name - e.g., HD 101231, 101321, etc., until you get tired of the "shotgun" approach. Try to find the reference to the discovery announcement and check there for alternate IDs. If the paper by Ouzts etc. is not the announcement paper, they may give the discovery reference. An e-mail to the first author of the paper, describing the problem, would probably be appreciated and may get you a quicker answer than any other way. Since the star is an eclipsing binary, you may be able to find it in the GCVS by searching the GCVS (and Namelists) using the position. Unfortunately, the GCVS doesn't incorporate alternate and commonly used designations. Regards, Thom Sebastian Otero wrote: > > I found another confussion.
