Active SETI
Active SETI (Active Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) is the attempt to send messages to intelligent extraterrestrial life.
See 37 Geminorum and Active SETI
Apparent magnitude
Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object.
See 37 Geminorum and Apparent magnitude
Astronomy & Astrophysics
Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A) is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering theoretical, observational, and instrumental astronomy and astrophysics.
See 37 Geminorum and Astronomy & Astrophysics
Constellation
A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern or outline, typically representing an animal, mythological subject, or inanimate object.
See 37 Geminorum and Constellation
Debris disk
A debris disk (American English), or debris disc (Commonwealth English), is a circumstellar disk of dust and debris in orbit around a star.
See 37 Geminorum and Debris disk
Ecliptic
The ecliptic or ecliptic plane is the orbital plane of Earth around the Sun.
Effective temperature
The effective temperature of a body such as a star or planet is the temperature of a black body that would emit the same total amount of electromagnetic radiation.
See 37 Geminorum and Effective temperature
Epsilon Geminorum
Epsilon Geminorum or ε Geminorum, formally named Mebsuta, is a star in the constellation of Gemini, on the outstretched right 'leg' of the twin Castor. 37 Geminorum and Epsilon Geminorum are bright Star Catalogue objects, Gemini (constellation), Henry Draper Catalogue objects and Hipparcos objects.
See 37 Geminorum and Epsilon Geminorum
Eurasia
Eurasia is the largest continental area on Earth, comprising all of Europe and Asia.
Exoplanet
An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System.
See 37 Geminorum and Exoplanet
G-type main-sequence star
A G-type main-sequence star (spectral type: G-V), also often, and imprecisely, called a yellow dwarf, or G star, is a main-sequence star (luminosity class V) of spectral type G. Such a star has about 0.9 to 1.1 solar masses and an effective temperature between about. 37 Geminorum and g-type main-sequence star are g-type main-sequence stars.
See 37 Geminorum and G-type main-sequence star
Gemini (constellation)
Gemini is one of the constellations of the zodiac and is located in the northern celestial hemisphere.
See 37 Geminorum and Gemini (constellation)
Habitable zone
In astronomy and astrobiology, the habitable zone (HZ), or more precisely the circumstellar habitable zone (CHZ), is the range of orbits around a star within which a planetary surface can support liquid water given sufficient atmospheric pressure.
See 37 Geminorum and Habitable zone
Light-year
A light-year, alternatively spelled light year (ly or lyr), is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and is equal to exactly 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (Scientific notation: 9.4607304725808 × 1012 km), which is approximately 5.88 trillion mi.
See 37 Geminorum and Light-year
Occultation
An occultation is an event that occurs when one object is hidden from the observer by another object that passes between them.
See 37 Geminorum and Occultation
Photosphere
The photosphere is a star's outer shell from which light is radiated.
See 37 Geminorum and Photosphere
Radar
Radar is a system that uses radio waves to determine the distance (ranging), direction (azimuth and elevation angles), and radial velocity of objects relative to the site.
Radial velocity
The radial velocity or line-of-sight velocity of a target with respect to an observer is the rate of change of the vector displacement between the two points.
See 37 Geminorum and Radial velocity
Rotation period (astronomy)
In astronomy, the rotation period or spin period of a celestial object (e.g., star, planet, moon, asteroid) has two definitions.
See 37 Geminorum and Rotation period (astronomy)
SIMBAD
SIMBAD (the Set of Identifications, Measurements and Bibliography for Astronomical Data) is an astronomical database of objects beyond the Solar System.
Star
A star is a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity.
Stellar classification
In astronomy, stellar classification is the classification of stars based on their spectral characteristics.
See 37 Geminorum and Stellar classification
Stellar core
A stellar core is the extremely hot, dense region at the center of a star.
See 37 Geminorum and Stellar core
Stellar nucleosynthesis
In astrophysics, stellar nucleosynthesis is the creation of chemical elements by nuclear fusion reactions within stars.
See 37 Geminorum and Stellar nucleosynthesis
Stellar parallax
Stellar parallax is the apparent shift of position (parallax) of any nearby star (or other object) against the background of distant stars.
See 37 Geminorum and Stellar parallax
Sun
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. 37 Geminorum and Sun are g-type main-sequence stars.
The Astronomical Journal
The Astronomical Journal (often abbreviated AJ in scientific papers and references) is a peer-reviewed monthly scientific journal owned by the American Astronomical Society (AAS) and currently published by IOP Publishing.

Yevpatoria RT-70 radio telescope
The Yevpatoria RT-70 radio telescope (P-2500, RT-70) is an RT-70 radio telescope and planetary radar at the Center for Deep Space Communications, Yevpatoria, Crimea.
See 37 Geminorum and Yevpatoria RT-70 radio telescope
18 Scorpii
18 Scorpii is a solitary star located at a distance of some from the Sun at the northern edge of the Scorpius constellation. 37 Geminorum and 18 Scorpii are bright Star Catalogue objects, g-type main-sequence stars, Gliese and GJ objects, Henry Draper Catalogue objects and Hipparcos objects.
