	The name '''Pabilsang''' was discussed and adopted by the IAU WGSN in August 2026 for the star designated [https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=nu02+Sgr nu2 Sgr (35 Sgr, HR 7120, HD 175190~~, GJ 9637~~, HIP 92845, Gaia DR3 4075701763795658240)]. The star has apparent V magnitude 4.98 and lies 88 parsecs away, and is situated about 2 arcminutes north of the globular cluster NGC 6717 in Sagittarius, and only about 10 arcminutes north of the Ecliptic.		The name '''Pabilsang''' was discussed and adopted by the IAU WGSN in August 2026 for the star designated [https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=nu02+Sgr nu2 Sgr (35 Sgr, HR 7120, HD 175190, HIP 92845, Gaia DR3 4075701763795658240)]. The star has apparent V magnitude 4.98 and lies 88 parsecs away, and is situated about 2 arcminutes north of the globular cluster NGC 6717 in Sagittarius, and only about 10 arcminutes north of the Ecliptic.

	Pabilsang is a red giant of spectral type K3- II-III: CN1 Ba1, as classified by [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1989ApJS...71..245K/abstract Keenan & McNeil (1989)], meaning it is a bright giant or giant star showing enhanced cyanogen and barium. So-called '[[wikipedia:Barium_star\|barium stars]]' likely accreted material enriched in s-process elements from a companion that had been undergone its asymptotic giant branch stage, and which is now likely to be an undetected white dwarf companion. While a distant companion 10 arcseconds away in the Gaia data was reported by [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020ApJS..247...66H/abstract Hartmann & Lepine (2020)] -- the 15th magnitude star nu02 Sgr B (Gaia DR3 4075701729424047232) -- its colors and brightness are consistent with being a red dwarf star. As "B" is a main sequence star separated by this is could not be the culprit responsible for enriching nu2 Sgr with barium. However, multiple studies have noted that the radial velocity and proper motion measurements for nu2 Sgr suggest that it has a closer companion (e.g. [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2005AJ....129.2420M/abstract Makarov 2005], [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014A%26A...561A.126D/abstract de Medieros et al. 2014]), however it does not appear that an orbit has ever been published, nor mass or brightness constraints on the companion. The fact that nu2 Sgr is a barium-rich giant would suggest that the perturbations in radial velocity and astrometry are due to a white dwarf companion, which used to be the more massive component in the system. So the nu2 Sgr system is likely to be at least a triple, and WGSN adopts '''Pabilsang''' for the primary star. Note that the star nu1 Sgr is unrelated to the nu2 Sgr system.
