Parameters
- name – (Mandatory) — The name of the constellation, as defined by the IAU
- abbreviation – (Mandatory) — The three letter IAU abbreviation for the constellation
- genitive – (Mandatory) — The genetive form of the constellation's name used in the construction of star names in Bayer designations and Flamsteed designations
