Tarazed (ترازو) is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is Persian. It is the name of HIP 97278 (γ Aql, HR 7525) in constellation Aql.
Etymology and History
Variants
- tarazu
The Persian asterism name shāhīn-i tarazu, "the Scale Beam," for α, β, and γ Aql was transformed into two independent star names: Alshain (شاهین) and Tarazed (with a misreading in the second word).
The Persian name, in turn, was a medieval translation of these stars' indigenous-Arabic name al-mizan, "the Balance" (said to be a popular name for the Indigenous Arabs' al-nasr al-tā ir listed under α Aql, Altair).
In recent times the two names were applied to the separate stars.[1]
Mythology

The name was adopted by the IAU WGSN on 2016/08/21.
