'''Rigel''', also known by its ] '''Beta Orionis''' (β Ori, β Orionis), is the brightest star in the constellation ] and the ] in the night sky, with ] 0.13. The star as seen from Earth is actually a triple or quadruple star system, with the primary star (Rigel A) a blue-white supergiant that is estimated to be anywhere from 120,000 to 279,000 times as luminous as the ], depending on method used to calculate its properties. It has exhausted its core hydrogen and swollen out to between 79 and 115 times the Sun's radius. It pulsates quasi-periodically and is classified as an ]. A companion, Rigel B, is 500 times fainter than the supergiant Rigel A and visible only with a telescope. Rigel B is itself a ] system, consisting of two ] blue-white stars of spectral type B9V that are estimated to be respectively 3.9 and 2.9 times as massive as the Sun. Rigel B also appears to have a very close visual companion Rigel C of almost identical appearance.

==Visibility==
The apparent visual magnitude of Rigel is 0.13, making it on average the seventh brightest star in the ] excluding the Sun—just fainter than ]. It is an irregular pulsating variable with a visual range of magnitude 0.05–0.18. Although Rigel has the ] "beta", it is almost always brighter than Alpha Orionis (]). Since 1943, the ] of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are ].<ref name=baas25_1319/> Rigel is the third most inherently ] first magnitude star after ] and Betelgeuse.

In ], Rigel is one of the most important ], since it is bright, easily located and equatorial, which means it is visible all around the world's oceans (the exception, areas within 8° of the North Pole).

== System ==
Rigel has been known as a ] since at least 1822, when it was measured by ].<ref name="WDS">{{cite web|url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astrometry/optical-IR-prod/wds/WDS|title=Washington Double Star Catalogue|work=US Naval Observatory|accessdate=13 March 2016}}</ref> Although the companion is not particularly faint at magnitude 6.7, with the separation of 9.5 arcsec in position angle 202° (2014), both components are resolvable in most amateur astronomer's telescopes.<ref name=WDS/> Its the large difference in brightness makes it a challenging target for telescope apertures smaller than {{convert|15.0|cm|in|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Burnham1978">{{cite book |title=Burnham's Celestial Handbook |last=Burnham |first=Robert, Jr. |date=1978 |publisher=Dover Publications |location=New York |page=1300 }}</ref> At Rigel's estimated distance, Rigel B's projected separation from its primary by over 2200 ]; Since discovery, there has been no sign of orbital movement, though both stars share similar ].<ref name="WDS"/><ref name="Jedicke1992">{{cite book |chapter=Regal Rigel |title=The New Cosmos |last=Jedicke |first=Peter |author2=Levy, David H. |date=1992 |publisher=Kalmbach Books |location=Waukesha |pages=48–53 }}</ref> The pair would have an minimum orbital period of around 18,000 years.<ref name=msc>{{cite journal|bibcode= 1997A&AS..124...75T|title= MSC - a catalogue of physical multiple stars|journal= A & A Supplement series|volume= 124|pages= 75|author1= Tokovinin|first1= A.

At various times since the 19th century, Rigel B has been reported to be resolved into a close binary of two equal components, with the measured separation varying from less than 0.1" to nearly 0.2". Speckle interferometry showed in 2009 two almost identical components separated by 0.124".<ref name=mason>{{cite journal|bibcode= 2009AJ....137.3358M|title= The High Angular Resolution Multiplicity of Massive Stars|journal= The Astronomical Journal|volume= 137|issue= 2|pages= 3358|author1= Mason|first1= Brian D.|last2= Hartkopf|first2= William I.|last3= Gies|first3= Douglas R.|last4= Henry|first4= Todd J.|last5= Helsel|first5= John W.|year= 2009|doi= 10.1088/0004-6256/137/2/3358}}</ref> Both stars would have apparent visual magnitudes of 7.6 with a likely orbital period of 63 years.<ref name=msc/>

Rigel B is itself a ] system, consisting of two ] stars that orbit each other every 9.86 days. The stars both belong to the spectral class B9. These two stars do not appear to make up the visual binary components B and C, so the system might be a triple star, although the true arrangement of them is unclear.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sb9.astro.ulb.ac.be/ProcessMainform.cgi?Catalog=HD&Id=&Coord=05+14+32.2+-08+12+0+&Epoch=2000&radius=3&unit=arc+min|title=Spectroscopic Binary Catalogue (SB9)|work=D.Pourbaix|accessdate=13 March 2016}}</ref>

A 15.4 magnitude star at 44.6 arcsec in north position angle of 1° is catalogued as component D in the system although it is unclear whether it is physically related or a coincidental alignment.<ref name=WDS/>

Analysis of Rigel using this method yields a luminosity 279,000 times that of the Sun, a radius 115 times that of the Sun and stellar wind velocity of 671,080 miles per hour.<ref name="Chesneau 2014">{{cite journal|author=Chesneau, O.; Kaufer, A.; Stahl, O.; Colvinter, C.; Spang, A.; Dessart, L.; Prinja, R.; Chini, R.|date=2014|title=The variable stellar wind of Rigel probed at high spatial and spectral resolution|journal=Astronomy & Astrophysics|volume=566|id=A125 |pages=18|doi=10.1051/0004-6361/201322894 |bibcode=2014A&A...566A.125C|arxiv = 1405.0907 }}</ref>

Rigel A is a ] that has exhausted burning the hydrogen fuel in its core and left the main sequence, expanding and brightening as it progresses across the ]. Przybilla estimated that it has lost around 3 solar masses since beginning life as a star of 24&nbsp;±&nbsp;3 solar masses 7 to 9 million years ago.<ref name=aaa445_3_1099/> It will become a red supergiant and eventually end its stellar life by exploding as a ], in the process flinging out material that will serve to seed future generations of stars.<ref name=apj2012_749_74/> It is one of the closest known potential supernova progenitors to Earth.<ref name=apj2012_747_108/>

Rigel's variability is complex and is caused by ] similar to those of ], the prototype of the class of ] pulsating stars. The radial velocity variations of Rigel proves that it simultaneously oscillates in at least 19 non-radial modes with periods ranging from about 1.2 to 74 days.<ref name=apj2012_747_108/> It is notable among blue supergiant stars in the sense that while its pulsations are powered by the nuclear reactions in a hydrogen-burning shell that is at least partially non-convective, the star also ] in its core.<ref name=apj2012_749_74 /> Rigel was identified as belonging to the Alpha Cygni variables in 1998 by Christoffel Waelkens and colleagues.<ref name="waelkens 1998">{{cite journal|author=Waelkens, C.; Aerts, C.; Kestens, E.; Grenon, M.; Eyer, L.|date=1998|title=Study of an unbiased sample of B stars observed with Hipparcos: the discovery of a large amount of new slowly pulsating B star|journal=Astronomy and Astrophysics|volume=330|pages=215–21|bibcode=1998A&A...330..215W}}</ref>

As it is both bright and moving through a region of nebulosity, Rigel lights up several dust clouds in its vicinity, most notably the ] (the Witch Head Nebula).<ref name="Jedicke1992">{{cite book |chapter=Regal Rigel |title=The New Cosmos |last=Jedicke |first=Peter |author2=Levy, David H. |date=1992 |publisher=Kalmbach Books |location=Waukesha |pages=48–53 }}</ref> Rigel is also associated with the ], which—while more or less along the same line of sight as the star—is almost twice as far away from Earth. Despite the difference in distance, projecting Rigel's path through space for its expected age brings it close to the nebula. As a result, Rigel is sometimes classified as an outlying member of the ] although it is considerably closer than most of the members. Betelgeuze and Saiph lie at a similar distance to Rigel, although Betelgeuze is a ] with a complex history and is likely to have originally formed in the main body of the association.<ref name=bally/> It has been listed as a member of the poorly-defined ]<ref name=racine>{{cite journal|bibcode=1968AJ.....73..233R|title=Stars in reflection nebulae|journal=Astronomical Journal Vol. 73|volume=73|pages=233|author1=Racine|first1=R.|year=1968|doi=10.1086/110624}}</ref>

Rigel was observed with the Canadian ] satellite for nearly 28 days in 2009. The light variations in this supergiant star were at the milli magnitude level. The gradual changes in the flux highlights the presence of long-period pulsation modes in the star.<ref name=apj2012_747_108/>

=== Spectroscopy ===
The general spectral type of Rigel as B8 is well-established and it has been used as a defining point of the spectral classification sequence for supergiants. However the details of the spectrum vary considerably owing to periodic atmospheric eruptions. The spectral lines show emission, absorption, line doubling, P Cygni profiles, and inverse P Cygni profiles, with no obvious periodicity.<ref name=rother>{{cite web|url=
