勢四(英語:Praecipua,[10],小獅座46,46 LMi)是小獅座最亮的恆星。它的視星等為3.83等,光譜類型為K0+III-IV,是在紅團簇星中的一顆巨星[9]。依據視差的測量,它與太陽的距離約為95光年。它疑似為變星,振幅僅有0.05星等[3]。
命名法
小獅座46的名稱來自佛蘭斯蒂德命名法。它有時會依據1801年弗朗西斯·貝利的星表,標示為小獅座o(不是ο)。合理的推測認為它在拜耳命名法中是α星,但是貝利決定在他的星表中標示每一顆比4.5等亮的恆星時,錯誤的將α寫成o,所以小獅座有較暗的β星(勢增四,視星等4.2等),卻沒有最亮的α星[11]。
它的傳統名稱是Praecipua,這是源自拉丁文的名稱,意思是「首領」(小獅座為首的恆星)[12]。這個名字最初可能是指勢增十一(小獅座37,視星等4.7),後來被錯誤的轉移到了這顆恆星上[13]。在2016年,國際天文學聯合會(IAU)組織的IAU恆星名稱工作組(WGSN)[14],對恆星的專有名稱進行分類和標準化。WGSN於2017年6月30日核定了這顆恆星的名稱為Praecipua,並將其列入IAU核定的恒星名稱清單中[10]。
勢四是中國的名稱,意思是星官勢的第四顆星。在傳統的中國天文學體系中屬於紫微垣。
