For stars similar to the Sun a change of 80 K in the assumed value of T eff results in a change of about 0.02 dex in the value of [Fe/H]s derived from the analysis of the spectrum (Doyle et al. 2013). This is at least a factor of 3 lower than the minimum standard error that we have assumed for [Fe/H] ...

Aquarius (constellation)
Aquarius is a constellation of the zodiac, situated between Capricornus and Pisces. Its name is Latin for ""water-carrier"" or ""cup-carrier"", and its symbol is 20px (Unicode ♒), a representation of water.Aquarius is one of the oldest of the recognized constellations along the zodiac (the sun's apparent path). It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century AD astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It is found in a region often called the Sea due to its profusion of constellations with watery associations such as Cetus the whale, Pisces the fish, and Eridanus the river.
