Sadwēs (سَدویس) is a Persian name for a bright star, either [[Fomalhaut]], [[Antares]], or [[Deneb]].

==Concordance, Etymology, History==

Variants:

In Avestan, its name was Satavaēsa-, m. This denomination can be explained as a compound of sata-, “hundred”, and vaēsa-, which seems to be connected with Skt. vaiśa-, “servant”. Though its identification is debated, it is often linked to Fomalhaut (α Piscis Austrini); Henning thought it was Antares. A recent suggestion associating it with Deneb is not satisfactory. Pahlavi texts (Bundahišn X.11) mention it as connected to a lake named Sadwēs via cords of wind. Some scholars have speculated that it was originally a name for the rainbow, later reassigned to a star. Its single-star identity is confirmed in both Pahlavi Zoroastrian and Manichaean sources.

==Mythology==

==IAU Working Group on Star Names==
The name was discussed and approved by the IAU WGSN in 202x. As this star is already named ..., the WGSN chose ... (not to apply/ to apply the name to a neighbouring star/ to ...) in the IAU-CSN.
