Iota Antliae
Star in the constellation Antlia
Iota Antliae , Latinized from ι Antliae, is a single,[ 9] orange-hued star in the southern constellation of Antlia . It has an apparent visual magnitude of +4.60,[ 2] making it a faint naked eye star . From parallax measurements, the distance to this star can be estimated as 202 ± 2 light-years (61.93 ± 0.61 parsecs ).[ 1] It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 2 km/s.[ 1]
The spectrum of Iota Antliae matches a stellar classification of K1 III,[ 4] indicating that this is an evolved star that is now in its giant phase. Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core , the star has expanded and it now spans 12[ 1] times the radius of the Sun . It is a red clump giant, indicating it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through helium fusion .[ 3] The star is 3.32[ 6] billion years old with 1.55[ 6] times the Sun's mass . It is radiating 67[ 1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,892 K.[ 7]
