The identification
HR 6952 = HD 170868
and
HR 6953 = HD 170867
comes from the
Bright Star Catalog
. In the original Harvard Revised Photometry (1908) (http://cdsads.u-strasbg.fr//full/1908AnHar..50....1P/0000168.000.html), the stars are identified as
HR 6952 = CD-38 12896
and
HR 6953 = CD-38 12895
. In the
HD
the brighter is
HD 170868 = CD-38 12895
. It seems therefore that the B
right Star Catalog
swapped effectively the 2 HD numbers. Simbad was corrected accordingly, and an appropriate note added.
