Rho Hydrae, equally written ρ Hydrae, is a binary star[9] in the equatorial constellation of Hydra. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.34.[2] The distance to this system, based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.21 mas,[1] is about 354 light years. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an interstellar extinction of 0.06 magnitudes, due to intervening dust.[7]

The primary component is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 Vn.[3] It has around double[6] the radius of the Sun and 3.2 times the Sun's mass. Rho Hydrae is around 350 million years old[7] and has a high rate of spin, with a projected rotational velocity of 128 km/s. It radiates 242 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 9,795 K.[3] The companion is a magnitude 11.9 star at an angular separation of 12.1 arc seconds along a position angle of 146°, as of 2000.[10]

Name and etymology

This system appears among bright stars in a compact pentagon, resembling a quadrilateral due to the suggestive proximity (close arc distance) to Epsilon Hydrae (ε Hya). This shape in the Greco-Roman tradition, which draws on trading and navigation histories shared with nearby older-recorded astrologies is an asterism that represents the head of the water snake.[11]

This light source, along with comparable strength (apparent magnitude) Epsilon, δ Hya (Lisan al Sudja), ζ Hya, η Hya, and σ Hya (Minchir), were Ulug Beg's Min al Azʽal, "Belonging to the Uninhabited Spot".[12] According to the catalogue of stars in the Technical Memorandum 33-507 - A Reduced Star Catalog Containing 537 Named Stars, Min al Azʽal or Minazal were the title for five stars: δ Hya as Minazal I, η Hya as Minazal II, ε Hya as Minazal III, ρ Hya as Minazal IV and ζ Hya as Minazal V (exclude σ Hya).[13]

In Chinese, 柳宿 (Liǔ Sù), meaning Willow, refers to an asterism consisting of ρ Hydrae, δ Hydra, σ Hydrae, η Hydrae, ε Hydrae, ζ Hydrae, ω Hydrae and θ Hydrae[14] Consequently, ρ Hydrae itself is known as 柳宿四 (Liǔ Sù sì, English: the Fourth Star of Willow).[15]

The people of Groote Eylandt called Unwala, "The Crab", for the star cluster including this star, δ Hya (Lisan al Sudja), ε Hya, η Hya, ζ Hya and σ Hya (Minchir).[16]
