Uridim is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is Sumerian (UR.IDIM). It is the name of HIP 71860 (α Lup, HR 5469) in constellation Lup.
Etymology and History
The constellation of Lupus is one of the few ancient Greek constellation outside the zodiac that was directly taken over from a Babylonian constellation. The Sumerian term for this creature was UR.IDIM, later alternatively written "Uridimmu" in the Akkadian language (the literal Akkadian translation of UR.IDIM would be "kalbu šegû", according to lexical lists).
Mythology
IAU Working Group on Star Names
The name was adopted by the IAU WGSN on 2024/09/12.
