Unclear which star is which[edit]

It is not clear which star of the system is B1 V, B3 V and B2 V. If Eta Ori A is B1 V, then what is Eta Ori B and Eta Ori C? Is Eta Ori D the unresolved companion, or is it Ab, Ba, Ca?

Clarification needed.

Much more explanation needed, since there are at least four B-type main sequence stars, three spectroscopic and one resolved, plus a fainter visual companion. Don't hold your breath, but maybe I'll do something later today Lithopsian (talk) 11:08, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
