    This star is Gould's 145th of Canis Major in his Uranometria Argentina. (Gould, B. A., (2009) Uranometria Argentina, (Reprinted and updated by Pilcher, F.) Archived 27 February 2012 at the Wayback Machine) Kostjuk (see abovew) erroneously lists it as simply "145 CMa". SIMBAD follows this error in its object query result as " * 145 CMa – Star".
