If a star has a proper name, you can be almost sure that it is in our own galaxy (the Milky Way). If you look up "Arneb", it is at an estimated distance of 2200 light-years. Anything that close is clearly within our Milky Way (which has a diameter of 100,000 light-years).
Alpha Leporis (Arneb) is the brightest star in the constellation Lepus.It has a spectral type of F0 and has a temperature of about 7,350oK
