annotation
  1. ↑ Calculated from apparent brightness and distance.

Naos ("ship"), Bayer name Zeta Puppis (ζ Puppis), is the brightest star in the constellation aft deck of the ship (lat. Puppis). It is a blue supergiant and belongs to the spectral class O 5 Ia. It is about 1100 light years away. It has an apparent magnitude of approx. 2.25 mag. The name Naos was added to the official list of star names by the IAU on August 21, 2016 . Another historical name is Suhail Hadar ( Arabic سهيل هدار, DMG Suhail Hadār ).

Due to the division of the former constellation Argo Navis into the constellations aft deck of the ship , keel of the ship and sails of the ship , these have a common "set" of Bayer designations and Naos, therefore not alpha, but zeta as a large letter. The brightest star Alpha of Argo Navis is Canopus in the constellation Kiel des Schiff.

Naos was the main star of the ancient Egyptian constellation Stars of Water .

It is believed that the star belongs to a relatively rare group of stars, the blue stragglers .
