40 Eridani

Why is 40 Eridani B given a row to itself, in the list, as 40 Eridani C isn't and neither are the other companions to binary stars? If, the list is about individual stars, rather than star systems, why aren't 40 Eridani C or 32 Eridani B given their own rows, in the list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.99.79 (talk) 22:41, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
