Title
editThere are a lot of different names used for this star, with no apparent single common name. From a search in ADS, it looks like Gl 83.1 (Gliese 83.1) might actually be the most commonly used name. The exoplanet databases use GJ 9066 because that's what's used in the paper that confirmed the presence of a planetary system around this star. In the absence of a clear common name I'd prefer to use the variable star designation (TZ Arietis), which is indeed what's used in this recent paper. Thoughts?

- As well as which name is most frequently used, we should give (just a little) consideration to which is most "accessible". The variable star designation would probably win that contest, but the Gliese designation is also slightly more understandable, at least to serious armchair astronomers, than a Luyten (I assume) designation. You should be able to move it yourself. Worst that happens is someone objects and we have a longer discussion. Lithopsian (talk) 14:10, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
