These anomalies are believed to be the result of separation of elements due to the inward pull of the star's gravity and due to the radfiation pressure, and their diferent effects on the elements. See Frech Wikipedia: "En arabe, Alphératz dérive d'une expression signifiant l'épaule du cheval. Elle est également connue sous le nom de Sirrah ou Sirah, d'après l'arabe Al Surrat al Faras, le nombril du cheval." Coronellian 00:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Weather discovered on this star: clouds of mercury.

Second paragraph has this:  it is actually a binary system composed of two stars in close orbit
Somehow, the article has been put in category "Triple stars", and there is no mention of that elsewhere in the text. 91.154.188.185 (talk) 02:53, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

The article describes a third star.  However, it is thought to be an unrelated more distant object.  There are at least two other very faint close companions (discovered 2011), not described in the article and also thought to be background objects.  Lithopsian (talk) 11:43, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
So, it is categorised as a triple star because the article has something about an unrelated object? 91.154.188.185 (talk) 02:03, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
Short description: this star is a spectroscopic binary with a "visual companion", a star that it's not gravitationally bound to the former two, but appear nearby just because it's on the same line of sight. To me, the correct classification should be double instead of triple.Psyluke (talk) 11:17, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

There's a rock opera album that makes a direct reference to the "star of Sirrah". Should something like this be added as a bullet point in its own section? 

The Source (Ayreon album) is a science fiction rock opera featuring an alien species that, after an AI destroys their homeworld, flee to another planet "near the star of Sirrah, in the Alpha Pegasi"
