Delta, Epsilon and Lambda Sagittarii are respectively called Kaus Media, Kaus Australis and Kaus Borealis.

The next three are all about the same, so while Yildun is technically number 6 in brightness, (slightly beat out by Epsilon and Zeta), its designation as Delta is certainly forgivable. Eta and Theta follow. The first distinction is the name.
In one planetary system called Epsilon Andromedae, Spitzer found distinct temperature variations that correlated to the period of the planet's orbit.
109 light-years from Sol (HIPPARCOS Plx=30.04, e_Plx=0.73 mas), in the southcentral part (22:53:37.9-48:35:53.8, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Grus, the Crane -- south of Beta Gruis, southeast of Al Nair (Alpha Gruis), and northwest of Epsilon and ...
Subsequent observations of the "H" and "K" lines of calcium by Beals (1936) revealed double and asymmetric profiles in the spectra of Epsilon and Zeta Orionis.
Two other notable stars are [1670] epsilon and [1673] upsilon Carinae, both binary stars that can be seen in small telescopes. [1670] epsilon Carinae, also known as Avior, has a magnitude of 1.
The first, 1986 U1R, was detected between the outermost of the previously known rings -- epsilon and delta -- at a distance of 50,000 kilometers (31,000 miles) from Uranus's center. It is a narrow ring like the others.
One of the lady's arms is formed by stars delta Andromedae, epsilon Andromedae, zeta Andromedae, and eta Andromedae, with star eta Andromedae representing one of her hands.
While our figure puts the horn in front, from gamma Monocerotis through epsilon and up to S Monocerotis, another popular form has the horn instead coming from delta Monocerotis through 18 Mon and over to epsilon.
In 1986, Voyager 2 discovered two more even fainter rings, one between Delta and Epsilon and one between ring 6 and Uranus. The main rings are shown in Figure 13.16. More details on the rings are provided in Table 13.3.
