尾 Aql (Alshain): its spectral type is G8 IV and it shines with an apparent brightness of 3.71m. Like Altair, it too is a multiple star system with three components.
纬 Aql (Tarazed): spectral type K3 II; 2.72m
畏 Aql: This short-period variable star is one of the brightest classical Cepheids; its brightness varies between 3.48 mag and 4.39 mag every 7.177 days.3 brightest star in Aquila constellation?
oh my my my...you MUST be in my NATS 1740 Class huh???

3 brightest star in Aquila constellation?I am thinking that you did not know that the stars in a constellation are named in order of brightness - at least for the brightest stars. So the 3 brightest stars would beAlpha Aquila
Beta Aquila and
Gamma Aquila3 brightest star in Aquila constellation?
To answer your additional question, there are old names for stars bright enough to be seen by the naked eye. Most of them are Arabic in origin. Since Altair is a bright star, it has had a name since long before modern conventions of star-naming evolved. Now that we can see many more stars with telescopes, the brightest in each constellation have been given Greek letters to designate the order of magnitude, as others have pointed out.
So to answer your question, if your paper is *highly* technical, you should use Alpha Aquilae. (Note the spelling of the genitive case...not like the first guy.) If it is a layman's type of essay, you can use the name Altair.3 brightest star in Aquila constellation?to answer you additional question the names would be Alpha Aquila, Beta Aquila, Gamma Aquila
