Calvera is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is fictional. It is the name of the star ... in constellation Ursa Major.
Concordance, Etymology, History
This neutron star is named after the villain in the 1960 film The Magnificent Seven, as it was found in 2001[1] in a category of neutron stars that had formerly been called The Magnificent Seven [2][3]. These isolated neutron stars were known within 500 parsecs of Earth: the initially found set were the sources RX J1856.5-3754, RBS1556, RBS1223, RX J0806.4-4132, RX J0720.4-3125, RX J0420.0-5022 and MS 0317.7-6647.[4] These objects are also known under the names XDINS (X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars) or simply XINS, discovered as a set by Walter et al. (1992) and confirmed as neutron stars.
Mythology
IAU Working Group on Star Names
The name was discussed and approved by the IAU WGSN in 202x. As this star is already named ..., the WGSN chose ... (not to apply/ to apply the name to a neighbouring star/ to ...) in the IAU-CSN.
