Two second-magnitude stars, Alpha Pavonis and Epsilon Carinae, were assigned the proper names Peacock and Avior respectively in 1937 by Her Majesty's Nautical Almanac Office during the creation of The Air Almanac, a navigational almanac for the Royal Air Force.

** Peacock is also a name for the brightest star ( Alpha Pavonis ) in that constellation

Four other stars had this figure: Alpha Centauri B, 70 Ophiuchi A, Eta Cassiopeiae A, and Delta Pavonis.

Alpha Pavonis ( α Pav ) is a star in the southern constellation Pavo, near the shared border with the Telescopium constellation.

Of the fifty-seven stars included in the new almanac, two had no classical names: Epsilon Carinae and Alpha Pavonis.

Stars with the mass of Alpha Pavonis are believed not to have a convection zone near their surface.

A possible scenario for the latter is that the deuterium was burned through while Alpha Pavonis was a pre-main-sequence star.

Alpha Pavonis is a spectroscopic binary consisting of a pair of stars that orbit around each other with a period of 11. 753 days.

The estimated age of this association is 30 million years, which, as the members share a common origin, suggests a similar age for Alpha Pavonis.

Of the fifty-seven navigation stars included in the new almanac, two had no classical names: Epsilon Carinae and Alpha Pavonis.

Alpha Pavonis was named " Peacock ", a translation of Pavo, whilst Epsilon Carinae was called " Avior ".

The impact rate on 1958 Alpha for 153 events was Af for particles of mass greater than Af ( Dubin, 1960 ) ; ;

Her husband, who is the son of Alton John Mason of Shreveport, La., and the late Mrs. Henry Cater Parmer, was president of Alpha Tau Omega and a member of Delta Sigma Pi at Lamar Tech, and did graduate work at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, on a Rotary Fellowship.

Alpha was derived from aleph, which in Phoenician means " ox ".

Carnegie was honored for his philanthropy and support of the arts by initiation as an honorary member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity on October 14, 1917, at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.

In the fall of 1980, she transferred to Vanderbilt University, where she was a member of the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta.

Notably, the design team was led by Dirk Meyer, who had worked as a lead engineer on multiple Alpha microprocessors during his employment at DEC. Jerry Sanders had approached many of the engineering staff to work for AMD as DEC wound down their semiconductor business, and brought in a near-complete team of engineering experts.

While in college, he became a brother of Alpha Phi Omega and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

Since in a majority of constellations the brightest star is designated Alpha ( α ), many people wrongly assume that Bayer meant to put the stars exclusively in order of their brightness, but in his day there was no way to measure stellar brightness precisely.

Alpha 3 of Haiku was released in June 2011.

The 1999 game Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri was also created by Meier and is in the same genre, but with a futuristic / space theme.

DEC's last major attempt to find a space in the rapidly changing market was the DEC Alpha 64-bit RISC processor architecture.

Although the Alpha processor family met both of these goals, and, for most of its lifetime, was the fastest processor family on the market, it did little to affect the bottom line or repair the company's status.

In a CNN interview, John Landis said the movie was " based on Chris Miller's real fraternity at Dartmouth ", Alpha Delta Phi.

The film Alpha and Omega, which was his last movie role, was dedicated to him.

Alpha was implemented in microprocessors originally developed and fabricated by DEC.

The Alpha architecture was sold, along with most parts of DEC, to Compaq in 1998.

Alpha was born out of an earlier RISC project named PRISM, itself the final product of several earlier projects.

The main contribution of Alpha to the microprocessor industry, and the main reason for its performance, was not so much the architecture but rather its implementation.

The Alpha was designed as 64-bit from the start and there is no 32-bit version.

The first version, the Alpha 21064 or EV4, was the first CMOS microprocessor whose operating frequency rivalled higher-powered ECL minicomputers and mainframes.

The Alpha architecture was intended to be a high-performance design.

In the Alpha architecture, a byte was defined as an 8-bit datum, a word as a 16-bit datum, a longword as a 32-bit datum, a quadword as a 64-bit datum and an octaword as a 128-bit datum.

In September 2001 the opposition leader Alpha Condé was imprisoned for endangering state security, though he was pardoned 8 months later.
