Pipirima is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is Tahitian. It is the name of HIP 82545 (μ2 Sco, HR 6252) in constellation Sco.
Etymology and History
There are many versions of a widespread Polynesian story of two children fleeing their uncaring parents to become two shining stars, the stars themselves being variously recorded as Castor and Pollux (α and β Gem), Shaula and Lesath (λ and υ Sco), ζ and θ Sco, and µ¹ and µ² Sco as well as [possibly] ω¹ and ω² Sco. In Tahiti, Pipiri was the twin brother of Rehua: Pipiri ma refers to the two together, ma "with, and" being used after names to mean "et al.". Calderon identifies the two children as µ¹ and µ² Sco, their mother being Shaula (λ Sco) and their father Lesath (υ Sco).
