In Chinese, 天田 (Tiān Tián), meaning Celestial Farmland, refers to an asterism consisting of ω Capricorni, 3 Piscis Austrini, 24 Capricorni and ψ Capricorni. Consequently, ω Capricorni itself is known as 天田二 (Tiān Tián èr, English: the First Star of Celestial Farmland.)
ω Capricorni is a M-type red giant with an apparent magnitude of +4.12. It is also classed as a variable star because of its regular fluctuations in luminosity and absolute magnitude. It is approximately 630 light years from Earth.
