Jirradella, rainbow signs, is a name for the star β TrA (in Triangulum Australe) from the Australian Wardaman people.

Etymology and History

The Wardaman name "Jirradella" means "rainbow's sign" (Cairns & Harney, 2003,[1] p.201).

Mythology

IAU Working Group on Star Names

The name was discussed and approved by the IAU WGSN in 2018. Beta Trianguli Australis lacks a proper name in SIMBAD, the wikipedia, Bright Star Catalog (4th, 5th editions), and Kunitzsch & Smart (2006). see also http://stars.astro.illinois.edu/sow/betatra.html

WGSN chose ... (not to apply/ to apply the name to a neighbouring star/ to ...) in the IAU-CSN.
