Abstract: Given any number field, we prove that there exist arbitrarily shaped constellations consisting of pairwise non-associate prime elements of the ring of integers. This result extends the celebrated Green-Tao theorem on arithmetic progressions of rational primes and Tao's theorem on constellations of Gaussian primes. Furthermore, we prove a constellation theorem on prime representations of binary quadratic forms with integer coefficients. More precisely, for a non-degenerate primitive binary quadratic form $F$ which is not negative definite, there exist arbitrarily shaped constellations consisting of pairs of integers $(x,y)$ for which $F(x,y)$ is a rational prime. The latter theorem is obtained by extending the framework from the ring of integers to the pair of an order and its invertible fractional ideal.
