Star in the constellation Draco
This article is about A Draconis. Not to be confused with
Alpha Draconis .
15 Draconis is a single[ 8] star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Draco , located 452 light years away from the Sun. 15 Draconis is the Flamsteed designation ; it also has the Bayer designation A Draconis .[ 9] This object is visible to the naked eye as a white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.94.[ 2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −7 km/s.[ 2]
This star has a stellar classification of A0 III,[ 3] matching that of an A-type giant star . It has a relatively high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 154 km/s.[ 6] The star is radiating 286[ 2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,980 K.[ 5]
