Iota Tucanae
Star in the constellation Tucana
Iota Tucanae (ι Tuc, ι Tucanae) is a solitary[ 10] star in the southern constellation of Tucana . Based upon an annual parallax shift of 10.72 mas as seen from Earth,[ 2] it is located around 304 light years from the Sun . With an apparent visual magnitude of +5.33,[ 3] it is faintly visible to the naked eye .
This is a yellow-hued G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G5 III.[ 4] The variability of the brightness of Iota Tucanae was discovered when the Hipparcos data was analyzed.[ 11] It is classified as a semiregular variable star, showing a periodicity of 66.8 days with an amplitude of 0.0202 in visual magnitude.[ 12] Iota Tucanae is an X-ray source with a luminosity of 817.6× 1028 erg s−1 .[ 13] It has an estimated 2.2[ 5] times the mass of the Sun , and, at the age of 1.69 billion years,[ 5] it has evolved away from the main sequence , expanding to 11[ 7] times the Sun's radius . The star radiates 65[ 5] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,039 K.[ 5]
