Coming in after the time of Bayer, it has none of his assigned let ters; but Baily, in the A.

The former of the two stars is a well-, known double. On the maps, the two dogs, Asterion and Chara, are represented as held in leash by Bootes, and pursuing Ursa Major and the celestial pole, but this change in the figure of Bootes has of course been made since the introduction of Canes Venatici into the celestial train. The constellation is surrounded by Ursa Major, Bootes and Coma Berenices. The great whirlpool nebula of this train was discovered by Lord Rosse in 1845, and a fine globular cluster of stars of the llth magnitude and fainter, notable for the large (nearly one-seventh) pro portion of variables among them. Its principal star, to which Halley gave the name Cor Caroli, is a double star with components of the third and sixth magnitudes.
