Peter Manda (X) (asker) Apr 5, 2008:
secrecy - I really apologize for the @secrecy@ but the article involves a particular discovery in stellar systems and I have a sense the authors would prefer not to have a public disclosure prior to publication ... >grimace< pleiads, centauris, and other similar systems are all described as @bewegungsgruppe@ just that I wasn't able to pin it down to something @english@ ... until y'all started helping - grateful for this ...
Peter Manda (X) (asker) Apr 5, 2008:
i thought only interpreters were supposed to be simultaneous
David Hollywood Apr 5, 2008:
maybe that's just me though :)

stellar system

If referring to stars, this is generally known as a stellar system. The Centauris, for example, form a triple stellar system.

Based on the meagre context now given, this is also known as a stellar association. Why the secrecy about the systems involved? Knowing exactly which stars are involved can help people to help you.
