In 2016, the IAU organized a
Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[11] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name Fuyue for this star on 30 June 2017 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[12]
Evolutionary models show that G Scorpii has probably left the
red giant branch and is now fusing helium in its core. This makes it a
red clump star, at the cool end of the
horizontal branch.[3]
Just 5
arcminutes to the east is the
globular clusterNGC 6441.[15] At magnitude 3.2, G Scorpii is around 40 times brighter than the entire globular cluster.
