Astronomy question for those so inclined: Willem Jacob Luyten compiled one star catalogue or two? I'm leaning towards two, and there's a Star Trek trivia point that might ride on this re: "The Doomsday Machine".

Two star systems are noted as losing some/all of their planets to the titular device in the prologue of the episode, both identified by catalogue number:

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/System_L-370

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/System_L-374

The device is subsequently described as headed for the Rigel system. Given that we have more than one star with "Rigel" - or "Rijil" - in any of its recognized names, even before bringing "Beta Rigel" from the Enterprise pilot episode "Broken Bow" into things...knowing where L-370 and L-374 might be might help us map things out better.
