- Gamma Cephei Ab (abbreviated γ Cephei Ab, γ Cep Ab), formally named Tadmor /ˈtædmɔːr/, is an exoplanet approximately 45 light-years away in the constellation of Cepheus (the King). The planet was confirmed to be in orbit around Gamma Cephei A in 2003, but was first suspected to exist around 1988 (making this planet arguably the first true exoplanet discovered).

One of the 12 constellations introduced at the end of the 16th century by the Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman after their pioneer observations of the southern skies. Grus represents a long-necked wading bird, the crane. Possibly they had in mind the sarus crane of India and southeast Asia, which is the largest species of crane, standing nearly 6ft tall.
