- Name origin (IAU)
- Al-Aybasān (الأيبسان), the Two Joints (of bones), is an Indigenous Arabian asterism. Name variants are Al-Anīsān (الأنيسان) and Al-Baysan. The later spelling variant al-Anīsān that originated from a mistake changed the meaning, as it translates The Two Friends. WGSN adopts a spelling variant without hyphen: "Alaybasan" is the name for β Tri

- At magnitude 3 it is bright enough for the naked eye (limit about 6) — look from somewhere dark.
- Declination 35° — it rises above the horizon in Seoul (37.6° N), so it is visible from Korea in the right season.
