Isn't Procyon a member of the Dipper cluster, like Sirius and Alphecca and all but two of the stars in the Big Dipper in Ursa Major? --Eric Forste (Talk) 03:06, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

See [1]. Procyon does not seem to be a member. Sirius itself is apparently likely not a member. The research cited in the link is from Jeremy King et al., Clemson University, 2003. -- Curps 04:24, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There's some evidence that the MOST results about the pulsations were at the least, overstated - there may have been other instrumental effects contributing to the non-detection. See [2], [3] and [4]. Chaos syndrome 21:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, i agree. I think those three references should be added to the page. But I must declare that I am a coauthor on two of those papers you cite. I am new to Wiki editing and am unsure whethe it is appropriate for me to do it. Advice? thanks Timb66 23:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
