'''Delta centauri''' is the [[non-octave]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] of the [[3.5.11 subgroup]] that [[tempering out|tempers out]] the 4-cent comma, [[1953125/1948617]]. This temperament is generated by an almost-just [[5/3]] and stacking it nine times and tritave-reducing reaches the representation of [[11/9]]. Basically it is a slightly-tempered [[3.5 subgroup]]. The best tuning is to flatten 5/3 by around half a cent, though just 5/3 or slightly sharp 5/3 will work fine too.  It is a [[microtemperament]] with sub-cent error on the 5th and 11th harmonics in optimal tunings, and fairly low [[complexity]] as far as microtemperaments go.

This temperament was seemingly first discovered by [[User:MisterShafXen|MisterShafXen]] in 2025<ref>https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=4-cent_comma&diff=prev&oldid=183697</ref>, and was named by {{u|CompactStar}} in 2026 after the star {{w|Delta Centauri}}, following a series of non-octave temperaments that are named after stars, and as a reference to the 4-cent comma (delta being the 4th letter of the Greek alphabet).

The same small [[MOS scale]]s as the 3.5 subgroup are produced: [[2L 1s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 1s<3/1>]], [[2L 3s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 3s<3/1>]], [[2L 5s (3/1-equivalent))|2L 5s<3/1>]], [[2L 7s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 7s<3/1>]], [[2L 9s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 9s<3/1>]], [[2L 11s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 11s<3/1>]], [[13L 2s (3/1-equivalent)|13L 2s<3/1>]], [[15L 13s (3/1-equivalent)|15L 13s<3/1>]], [[28L 15s (3/1-equivalent)|28L 15s<3/1>]]
