The IAU catalogue's account
Au-haele, Hōkū-‘ula and Paikauhale are documented as three stars in a line, running from north to south. Two of the most reliable sources—Mary Puku‘i and Rubellite Johnson—both identify Hōkū-‘ula as Antares (α Sco), which makes Au-haele Alniyat (σ Sco) and Paikauhale τ Sco.
