Suspected variable star in Delphinus
17 Delphini is a solitary[ 11] star in the equatorial constellation Delphinus . It has an absolute magnitude of −0.64[ 7] and apparent magnitude of 5.18,[ 2] allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye . Located 517 light years away,[ 1] it is approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of −10.2 km/s .[ 6]
17 Delphini is an orange giant that is most likely on the horizontal branch (84% probability).[ 8] At present it has 2.33 times the mass of the Sun , but at an age of 832 million years — has expanded to 23.36 times the radius of the Sun .[ 8] It shines at 219 solar luminosities from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,616 K ,[ 8] giving it an orange glow. 17 Del has an iron abundance 64% that of the Sun [ 9] and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 3 km/s .[ 10]
17 Del is suspected to be a variable star of unknown type ranging from 5.16 to 5.27.[ 3]
