	'''Magur''' is a modern star name adopted by the ~~International Astronomical Union~~ in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN) for the 5th magnitude star HR 6862 (HIP 90037, HD 168592) in constellation [[Corona Australis]]. The ~~origin of~~ the ~~name~~ is ~~Sumerian~~.		'''Magur''' is a modern star name adopted by the WGSN in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN) for the 5th magnitude star HR 6862 (HIP 90037, HD 168592) in constellation [[Corona Australis]]. The etymology is based on the Mesopotamian asterism <sup>mul</sup>MA<sub>2</sub>.GUR<sub>8</sub> (𒀯𒈣𒋽) = ''makurru,'' 'the Barge', which is shaped like a river-barge in the region of [[Sagittarius]] and [[Corona Australis\|Corona Australis.]]

	In August 2026, the name '''Magur''' was proposed and adopted by the IAU WGSN for the star [https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=HD+168592 HR 6862 (HIP 90037, HD 168592)] , a star with apparent V magnitude 5.09 in the constellation Corona Borealis. Magur is a red giant star with spectral type K4/5III ([https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1982mcts.book.....H/abstract Houk 1982]) about 148 parsecs away, based on its Gaia DR3 parallax ([https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021AJ....161..147B/abstract Bailer-Jones] [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021AJ....161..147B/abstract et al. 2021], [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023A%26A...674A...1G/abstract Gaia Collaboration 2023)].[https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023ApJS..268....4F/abstract Fetherolf et al.
