We use the category "modern" for the star names and constellations that have been invented in the recent ~400 years, i.e. in the epochs that historians classify as "early modern" or "modern". It includes the early modern constellations that became obsolete with the IAU-definitions of the 1920s, and the inventions of star names in astrophysics. In more detail, the requirement of a "modern" star name:

  1. a term that has no meaning before IAU-naming;
  2. a name that has meaning but no history of it;
  3. the name may has different spelling from the origin name.

So, also the star names that have been applied to stars by IAU-WGSN since 2016 with approved spellings, see "living" Catalog of Star Names.
