(a) There are 5 main stars in the Cassiopeia constellation. Segin, also known as Epsilon Cassiopeiae. Ruchbah, also known as Delta Cassiopeiae, Ruchbah appears as a single star in the night sky but is actually a pair of binary stars, the larger of the two stars is a white subgiant around 4 times larger in diameter than the sun. Gamma Cassiopeiae, with no traditional name this star is known as Gamma Cassiopeiae. Schedar, also known as Alpha Cassiopeiae, Schedar is an orange giant around 230 light years from Earth and is the brightest star in the constellation, it has a mass around 4 times that of the sun and a radius around 40 times larger. Caph, also known as Beta Cassiopeiae, Caph is a white-yellow giant star around 55 light years from Earth, it has around twice the mass of the sun with a radius around three and a half times larger.
(b) The brightest star in Leo is Regulus, Alpha Leonis, with an apparent magnitude of 1.35. There are two meteor showers associated with the constellation. The Leonids usually peak on November 17-18 every year and have a radiant near the bright star Gamma Leonis. The January Leonids are a minor shower that peaks between January 1 and 7.
