Concordance, Etymology, History
WR 102ka is a wolf-rayet star below visibility limit, so there are no cultural names.
Barniske, Oskinova and Hamann (2008)[1] note in their abstract
"A peony-shaped nebula around WR102ka is resolved at 24 μm by the Spitzer MIPS camera. We attribute the formation of this IR-bright nebula to the recent evolutionary history of WR102ka"
Mythology
IAU Working Group on Star Names
The name was adopted by the IAU WGSN in 2026, as it has been in popular use among astrophysicists and listed in SIMBAD already.
